That means you use Suse Enterprise Linux 9 (SLES9), or Red Hat (RHEL) 3 or 4 ...and nothing else.

For home learning purposes, you probably don't want to pay for those sorts of distros -and yet you still need distros which are functionally the same as them. That particular piece of logic rules out Suse (because OpenSuse is not a clone of SLES, and you can't get SLES for zero cost), and rules in RHEL3 or 4 -because Centos 3 or Centos 4.4 are near-perfect clones of the Red Hat software (built from the same source code, indeed) and yet are completely free. Any other distro, and you're on your own. In particular, don't even think of using RHEL5 (or its Centos 5 clone), because that's too new and isn't a supported distro yet.
