Pros:
Excellent support for RHN registered members
Cons:
NO support for unregistered free consumers
Well RHEL 5.3 is primarily designed to be worked upon servers
or workstation. This is why it's official support is not free.
If you are planning for a linux workstation then Red Hat is no doubt best choice.
But if you want to work on linux just for fun or casual household work then don't ever think about it. Because you don't get support, if you are working unregistered on Red Hat
There are many great distros for desktop computers, some of them are :- Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSuse
