before you go any farther
you ARE going to BUY - yes buy $$$$ the required support contract !
RHEL is not really free
you DO NEED to buy the support contract
The standard one year is $299 / year ( every year)
--- single desktop install
https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/desktop/
if you do not buy it then , well you basically do not install anything on on the dvd you burned
no updates
no new software
no other software
you install well nothing
or
install the FREE rebuild of RHEL called
CentOS 6.4
http://centos.org/
or ScientificLinux 6.4
https://www.scientificlinux.org/
We will need a bit more information on your computer
desktop or a laptop ( redhat or cent and NOT good on laptops )
if a laptop ????????
cent or rhel ? might ? mostly work mostly well ? maybe ?
now on a HP blade server like it was designed for it will run GREAT
but not laptops
some laptops it will never install on
others somethings will not work - like the Graphics -- a text only install
( think of the 1970's and '80's green text )
the hardware
like is there a 3d card ? if so ATI or Nvidia , or an intel "chip" built in
and if a intel chip is it a "sandy bridges" CUP/GPU combo
--- NOT SUPPORTED on RHEL
