Yes I mean redhat..  and .com even :)
And no, it isn't a unix flavour, it is a Linux distribution. (Linux is a unix
flavour though) That is, it is the OS Linux, which is free, boundled together
with a lot of software, both free and sometimes nonfree, and includeing an
installation program, that does all the dirty work of setting up stuff, like the
filesystem and configurations, for you.
You don't need to get a distribution to get linux on your computer, but it makes
it a heck of a lot easier.
