Welcome "mightymo26" - if I may make a suggestion (what I found that worked for me) is using a VM player and loading some virtual machines to get a feel for the different distributions. In my virtual machine I have Fedora 12 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. They are RPM and Debian based respectively but show you how packages / repositories are managed and installed to machines.
Play around in the VM's first and get a feel for the command line and the differences between distributions. There are a ton of distros to choose from but the best is that they are free! Also come to places like this site or google items as "linux command line" with the distro you feel you want to run with...
Fedora is the closest the Red Hat - (in fact it's the testing bed for RHEL) and there is OpenSolaris you can download an try which too is an offshoot of the enterprise Solaris.
I hope some of this information is of help - if you have any other questions just let me know...
Good luck!
