And in answer to your original question, Red Hat has restrictions on its trademarks and logos and such that prevent redistribution of ISOs of recent versions. If you want to learn your way around a Red Hat-family Linux, try Fedora, or, for the closest possible experience... CentOS. : P
as maybe getting certified and having experience in many distro's
syntax and methods of operation will also help too
I've been on unemployment pay since I joined this forum in January
it's gonna end at some point, and I don't really want to continue being a
high-paid cabinet installer
as I always wanted to keep all 10 digits anyway
But, thanks for the help
as everything I've learned in Linux is from you guys!
Have you tried booting the Live CD? It should be fairly straightforward, though I've never done it.
What you buy isn't the ISO. Red Hat makes money by selling subscriptions - support and access to update servers - which are fairly costly. If you get to know your way around CentOS or Fedora, you'll be right at home if you're ever put in charge of a RHEL machine.
I recall that Red Hat provides a version called "Fedora" which is free-of-charge. Otherwise, their business model is that you (must) pay for ongoing support, which they dutifully provide. It's just how they do things, and yes, it is legally enforceable. It's also a good deal, in the eyes of a lot of people.

You pay for support and updates...
You can run RHEL without a problem...you just won't get support/updates.
