No the email does not have a virus. It's not even really phisihing

It looks like an official redhat one and is just asking people to download something from fedora-redhat.com a soundalike name

but the spelling errors and the improper From address are clues of the note's false nature.
..
The domain fedora-redhat.com is part of a netblock owned by Yahoo, according to Netcraft.com. It is not an official Red Hat site

You have to compare how you get infected with Windows and Linux.

Windows:
Connect to the internet with Internet Explorer. Wait 20 minutes.

Linux:
Manually download pathc. Extract. Check dependencies. Make. Log in as root. Make install. Run new programme.
