A while ago, a vendor of commercial software insisted his software ran only when using Redhat Enterprise Linux. Eversince we are stuck with RedHat Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 5). This RH Enterprise version is 'not-so-legal', and thus we can not upgrade or fix bugs. Hence, I consider installing Fedora Core 5 instead.
If you want something "very close" to RHEL3 you may wish to consider CENTOS3 http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=2
