Question #78747 on Ubuntu changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

Tom proposed the following answer:
RedHat is really made as a server OS and has lots of professional
technical support.  Now is not really an ideal time to switch over
because i think RedHat might be getting a bit of a boost in the next few
weeks with all the fall-out over the news articles about CentOS.  Really
it's all a lot of fuss about nothing.  At worst CentOS might have a name
change and perhaps a new website but only 1 person is leaving that
project and they hadn't been around much for about a year so really not
much is going to be very different.  If a similar thing had happened in
Windows world then the Microsoft Lawyers would be making a lot of money
by taking reporters to court for damages.

It might be worth setting up Ubuntu as part of a dual-boot and copying your data from the raided drives might also be a good plan but this is all a lot to change all at the same time.  I would break it into 2 parts; 
1. install Ubuntu as part of dual-boot.  Use Ubuntu's grub to default into Ubuntu
2.  Copy the data by either booting into RedHat or Ubuntu and then just copying the files.  

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
