First, AS2.1 has been "end-of-lifed" by Red Hat.  As for AS3, you must
buy it.  You can buy it online and download the AS3 images at

	http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/as/

You may find the images somewhere for free, but you will not be able
to update it without the "entitlements" you buy from Red Hat (well, you
_can_ update it, but only from source RPMs where you have to build the
stuff and install it yourself).

Also be aware that many third-party systems do not yet support RHEL
(Red Hat Enterprise Linux) 3 in any of its flavors (ES, AS, WS).  EMC's
"PowerPath" for their SANs won't work on it.  They do support AS2.1.
