They do *allow* you to use KDE, but it is RH's own fundamentally 
"broken" KDE that it ships with.  Look in comp.windows.x.kde and you 
will find that at least 90%, if not more, of the actual comlaints of 
some aspect of KDE not working come from RH users, and you will almost 
always find that the problem is a known problem (and specific to) KDE 
on Red Hat.

No, you do not *have* to use them, but I am fairly certain that X and at 
least GNOME are installed by default.
