Red Hat, the company, still exists, of course. Red Hat Linux, the
distribution, is certainly a thing of the past, but Fedora Core is
available as a suitable replacement and has a large community following.
Red Hat will be happy to sell you their commercially supported Linux
desktop distribution (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation) for around
the same price you'd pay for a copy of Windows.
Fedora Core is what you get if you take the old Red Hat Linux
distribution, remove commercial support, and speed up the
development/release cycle somewhat. Support for Fedora Core is
available via Red Hat's public BugZilla (but support is not guaranteed),
and via the community (as is the case with most distributions).
For myself, given a restricted choice, I'd use Fedora Core in preference
to SuSE, but given full choice I'd use neither.
Cheers,
