Ken, you may also want to look into CentOS, which is a direct copy of 
the RHEL source, built into a distro, with all the RedHat proprietary 
trademarks and logos removed, basically.

If they support RHEL WS 4, then Centos of the same version *should* work 
  really well.  And it'd be a lot newer than RH 7!  Holy cow that's old...
