There are couple of "clone" distribution, for example White Box, Tao 
Linux, and/or Centos.  They are basically identical to RHEL3 (all 
packages are built from RHEL3 SRPMs).

You can also download for free beta version of RHEL4 from Red Hat's web 
site.  Versions of packages in RHEL3 are quite old, so if you want 
something newer, might be a way to go (although if you want to test 
installing commercial package <insert name here> on RHEL, you probably 
want RHEL3 or clone since that is what most of them support).
