There are several distributions that are similar to RHEL 3 - they start
with the source rpms and then remove trademarked packages, rebuild, and
redistribute.  Check out http://www.taolinux.org for one example. Caos,
Centos, and White Box Linux are others along this same vein.

These all come WITHOUT support from Red Hat.  They're NOT RHEL and you
won't (or shouldn't) find a complete RHEL copy out there with Red Hat
Network access.

I've run Tao Linux in the past and have been satisfied with it.
