Most things do not require kernel rebuilds; but even if you do have to
recompile a kernel, its easy to do.

Redhat is not my favorite Linux distro, but it is not a POS. For a Redhat
type Linux distro I like Mandrake and recommend that to friends learning
Linux/Unix.

Yeah, I may have been exaggerating that point a bit.

Neither is based on SVR4... Solaris, HockeypUX, Irix, etc. are 64 bit
variants of SVR4.

FreeBSD isn't based on Linux whatsoever. It would be a neat trick if
it were since FreeBSD predated Linux by a decade or so. FreeBSD is
derived from the 4.4 Berkeley Systems Unix, with full BSD unix style
server support for a number of different CPU architectures.
See http://www.freebsd.org/features.html

Redhat is a Linux based operating system, not unix.
