You can't run Red Hat (for free anyway) but you can run CentOS or Fedora on it. Fedora is to Red Hat what OpenSolaris is Solaris. You You can probably find a cheap netbook with Ubuntu on it if you don't want to pay an OS tax. You could run RHEL if you want to pay for it but CentOS is free. CentOS is essentially RHEL with all of the Red Hat specific tools yanked out. If you are going to be using RHEL in production it wouldn't be a bad investment to pay the $80 US to get the real deal.
