I am a new linux user and I bought an old copy of red hat from a friend. Just a disk and nothing more. Redhat 6. During the install it asks "CUSTOM, WORKSTATION or SERVER" What one is the best to choose for a new user?

I'd probably just set up a Gnome or KDE workstation, in order to get aquainted with linux, and the look/feel of editing stuff via linuxconf or the cli (command line interface).

Besides, Server will install a bunch of services that you don't really need unless *gasp* you're running a server :-)
