I agree with the first two of those statements.  ;-)  

Now that you feel comfortable with RedHat you should try something very 
different.  Either Debian or Slackware are good bets.  And I say that as 
someone who dislikes both of those dists for various reasons.  Gentoo is 
interesting, too, and also very different.  I would not recommend Mandrake 
(my personal fav), SuSE, or Connectiva.  You need to try a non rpm-based 
distribution.
