RedHat (and this is not a plug for their services) is a very approachable
company - especially since I had dealings with them in Melbourne a few years
ago. They are more than happy to allow potential clients to sign up to their
website, download a trial edition of their OS, and have a 30 day limited
support trial.

Anyone taking one of their courses usually leaves with the latest copy of
their OS, as well as a copy of the Fedora OS. The RHEL OS only has limited
support for 30 days as well. You could start by looking at
http://rhn.redhat.com

If you have any problem, contact me off list and I will put you in contact
with a few guys I know that still work in RedHat. I'm sure they'll assist
where possible.
