I think it may be worth mentioning that Red Hat is an enterprise level Linux distribution, and cost money and provides support. For a new user trying something out on your own, you most likely want to use CentOS yourself. It is very similar to Redhat, but without the cost. There are many other distributions that you may enjoy (or find easier to use) depending on what exactly you are trying to do.
also as you are paying for SLA, call and ask Red Hat directly. If you are not paying for support, then use CentOS instead. the documentation is the same for both RHEL and CentOS. FYI v7 is now live for both.
