Well, from a newbie standpoint, you'll be fine. :-) The only real reason I
see to use a RedHat based distribution is commercial support (hence, I'm
not a big fan of Fedora), so I generally stick with RHEL if I am going to
use something like that.
But, as a beginner, starting with something like CentOS should be pretty
good because you'll probably learn a fairly standard setup. Unfortunately,
some people learn Linux on distributions that have lots of special tools,
and this results in them not understanding how to transition from one
Linux to another. RedHat and Debian based systems are the norm, and they
provide a good starting base for learning the majority of Linux processes.
They'll all have their unique quirks, though, and so be ready when you
reach your "gotta try them all!" stage, that there could be some shock
involved. :-)
