Try RedHat 9 first, since you're already somewhat familiar with RedHat 
via Fedora Core.

you might also take a look at Mandrake Linux 10.0. Its very newbie 
friendly and a good distro to learn on and be introduced to Linux. What 
makes Mandrake such a nice distro for new folks to learn on is the fact 
that its not pointed specifically at desktop users, but includes all the 
functionality for servers as well as desktop. Many, if not all of the 
configuration tools that were once part of the Redhat distro are still 
within Mandrake, albeit some have morphed or matured into Mandrake 
specific config tools whereas others are still the same good old config 
tools that RedHat long ago. ( 8.0 ) for some reason abandoned.
