The reason I mentioned CentOS is that its easier for me to
keep updated. And given that the distro claims binary
compatibility with the matching version of RHEL it should be
fine. And that way I avoid the support issue with RHEL.
Sounds good to me. And a symlink or a short message in a download
directory directing someone looking for redhat/RHEL[3,4] packages to
the equivalent CentOS directory should alleviate the "not supported"
interpretations, as well as the "Which redhat/fedora package should I
try for RHELx?" questions...
