Hi Al, Red Hat is a specific distribution or brand of Linux mainly designed for large scale businesses and corporate servers and such. Its not actually all that accessible, or necessarily appropriate for a home user. Something like Ubuntu 12.04.2 or Vinux 4.0 is more appropriate for a home user. I currently use Ubuntu 12.04.2 with Dosemu for playing Dos games like Wrestling League Simulator, Piledriver, Any Night Football, etc.
As far as the Windows Command Prompt it is simply a window that allows you to interact with the Windows 7 command line. You can run some Dos, AKA console, applications in it, but only if you have a 32-bit version of Windows. The 64-bit version of Windows 7 will not run 16-bit Dos apps. Only 32-bit and 64-bit console programs. So a lot depends on your processor and version of Windows. Cheers!
