Eh... I have a strong disgust for RHEL. They have nothing in the repo, you have to compile just about everything from source or get it from a 3rd party.
After my experiences with my boss' installation and the issues he's gone through, I would never use RHEL for a server - too much work!!! Ubuntu has always been so easy and the community is arguably more vibrant. It used to be that when you googled for linux problems you'd come up with a redhat forum or linuxquestions.org, then gentoo had the spotlight for a year or so with the amazing expansion of the gentoo-wiki, then ubuntu stole the spotlight and it's been there for quite a while. But if I ever wanted to go back to hard core, I'd go back to gentoo.
