RedHat is not for beginers ... If you do not know how to log-on as Root, then RedHat is not for you ... try one of the easier Linux Distro.

Never set any Linux to "auto-login" that way you'll always have access to Root and be able to "fix" it.

I'm still learning too ...

Cool Linux

Probably not the right thread, but as you mentioned Red Hat being difficult if new to Linux, which version/s are more friendly to someone new to Linux? I'm currently running SUSE Linux 10 Live from the Disc, as no installation files go on to pc.
