Welcome Larry.

I've done a few RedHat 6.0 installs and its seemse to be a fairly good system.
Most of the complaints that I have seen is that folks don't like the version of
KDE that ships with it. However, if you get Mandrae which is a version of
RedHAt that has some more up to doate software contained within it, you'll
avoid most of those problems.
