7 years ago I was in to Gentoo, like it fast. Today? Mostly Win XP and 7, seems I have just lost it for Linux. I mean, I tried Ubuntu a couple of years ago, and yeah it was super cool/easy, etc, but I'm back on Win 7.

I guess I will try Linux again soon, especially to open the potential doors to other employment. Question, what distro is the most used out there in the "paying" world, Redhat?

I would say Red Hat is the most popular out there.

To learn it, you can use CentOS or Fedora.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is used in most larger organizations. Oracle's 'Unbreakable' Linux (which is really a customized version of RHEL) is starting to gain alot of traction mostly due to Oracle's commitment to a monitoring environment that will manage the entire Oracle HTTP Stack (Apache/OracleWebLogic/Oracle DBMS).

You're not going to go wrong picking up and learning Red Hat Linux if you're going to be looking for a job supporting Linux.
