Since you mentioned being a newbie I thought you might be asking the wrong question by trying to apply a Windows term to Linux. It important to know that Redhat isn't linux. It's a distribution that packages Linux(the kernel) and other tools (such as GNU, a window manager, etc).

Are you referring to the linux kernel's patch level or the Redhat distribution level?
