Linux is, for all intents and purposes, an open source flavor of UNIX.
Redhat is one distribution of Linux; others include suse, Fedora, etc.

Better Linux is a matter of preference and of your usage requirements. Redhat is essentially a commercial product. Fedora is their (Redhat's) freely available distribution now. Based on your original post, you may be interested in something like Fedora. It's geered towards a desktop user but can still be used for server-based applications.
