Ya, for now you have to buy mainstream hardware to work with linux. It really isn't ready for you average consumer yet. Get 6.2 now, and wait at least until 7.1. RedHat *.0 numbers are basically 'beta' and then *.1 is the first stable revision, and *.2 is chill. That also applies to other RedHat distributions (mandrake, something_else_that_I_can't_remember, etc.). Get linux from cheapbytes.com and try it out on a dual boot, nothing to loose.
