Sorry; I should have been clearer.  I'm not out to "bend
the truth" or to defraud anybody, it's just that describing
something as an RHEL3 box implies a certain set of features,
package versions and such.  If I dragged an arbitrary set of
libs, apps and kernels on board I might end up with a vastly
improved machine, but somebody who was expecting the RHEL3
context might be unhappy with it.  I should probably be saying
something like "RHEL3-compatible"...

Thanks to all for the pointers.
