IMO there is very little reason why anyone would want
to use RedHat for personal use. My general impression
is that as a distribution it sucks, but the support
options are very good.

Yes. If you're worried about RH's installation
process, you're really not going to like Gentoo at
all. The docs are extremely well written though.
Perhaps you should try Debian as a sort of
middle-ground?
