Real newbies should prefer Knoppix 3.6 ...
Smart newbies should use SuSE Professional edition... but that's just my opinion... choice of distros differs from person to person and taste

as for RHCE, contact some professional training centers in your city... they'll be in a better position to give you counselling regarding this ...
