Rep:
Have you tried the Red Hat website, perhaps? I don't know, will they have the Red Hat distribution or will they host Ubuntu?
OK sorry for the childish sarcasm but Red Hat do rpovide the .iso files for install on their website -- I don't think you need to register an email address even but I'll admit it's been a while since zi downloaded it.
Fedora is "bleeding edge" and not stable. It is not RHEL. If you want a free version of RHEL then use CentOS. However, as I already told you, RHEL can be downloaded for free, gratis, no money required from, surprise, surprise... The Red Hat website!
where/how can I get a .iso (free of cost) or so of RHEL?
need it to complete my goal : have the 3 BIG distros...
If you explain why you think you want RHEL instead of Centos, you might get more constructive advise on whether the disadvantages of using a free trial copy of RHEL wreck your plans or don't really matter.
It is pretty clear you do not want to use a free trial copy of RHEL for its intended purpose (to test whether RHEL fits your needs before either paying for it or abandoning it).
For almost any other situation in which someone thinks they want free RHEL, they actually want Centos.
If you plan to test RHEL and then drop it, there is no real disadvantage to using a free trial copy instead of Centos. If you plan to continue using it (so you will need security updates) using RHEL without paying for it turns into a lot of grief for no benefit compared to using Centos.
want to use any Linux distro? It seems that they have found their home, and it isn't Linux. (Not that I care, one way or the other, you understand, but it doesn't seem to make sense that they should put effort in to anything other than the OS that they prefer. Or, have I missed something?)
but if you do not BUY $$$$ the required server license
you ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
YOU WILL BE RUNNING A SYSTEM THAT WILL never GET SECURITY UPDATES
the RHEL6.6 dvd dose NOT have the hartblead fix on it
that is in the UPDATES
contact redhat sales
buy RHEL 7.0
( or if your software IS built for 6 buy 6.6 )

I wouldn't exactly call it unstable. 18 through 21 have been really reliable. I wouldn't install the alpha 22 version and expect it to be stable, however...
To the OP: Use CentOS or Fedora. CentOS for slow and stable, Fedora for leading-edge and more features.
