Best Answer

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is most commonly used for servers, but some high-end workstations often use it as well. The "enterprise" means that this particular Linux distribution is designed primarily for business use.

Red Hat (The company.) also has a desktop variant of Red Hat called "Fedora." It is geared for home users, and it is also where some of the more "experimental" desktop technologies come from, such as PulseAudio and systemd.
