Thanks all for the input.
My plan was pick up a netbook or other laptop and go with Centos as I was told that translates what I learn in RHEL more directly. I will take a look at mint as well. Aside from my laptop all the others in the house are used for browsing/streaming/pictures so no problems there. My laptop is used for work that requires I.E. for the for security certs and whatnot.
