Why should Redhat send you an evaluation copy?
RHAS is aimed fairly and squarely at the corporate market - it is meant to
be a stable distribution, which comes ready with kernels for 'big' 
hardware and tools for enterprise-level systems. And, IIRC, you need to 
purchase support with it. That's what corporate customers want.

You, as a Linxu enthusiast can get the free (as in money) download 
editions
of Redhat, and if you need to experiment with the tools like LVM etc.
you can add them. That's what Free Software is all about.
