If you want a free-beer RedHat-alike system that's going to last as well as RHEL, then consider Scientific Linux as well as CentOS. Despite its name SL is a very good choice for non-scientists. CERN and Fermilab provide fairly heavyweight backing.

Fedora remains pretty good if you are willing to upgrade, which is usually fairly painless on a workstation. It's not what you want for a 24x7 server, though.
