Your RHEL 2.1 subscription is also valid for RHEL 3 and RHEL 4.  You've
got a couple of choices.  You can either download a fresh RHEL 3 or RHEL
4 distribution and do a fresh install (recommended) or you can try and
upgrade the current installation.

My recomendation would be to install RHEL 3 or RHEL 4 on it and then
register the system with RHN for your upgrades.
