  Don't ask me how I found that URL.  I tried to reproduce the navigation
path on their website, and could not.  I seem to remember their "Service and
Support" section being a backdoor into much good stuff not readily available
through more obvious channels, but even that appears to be stoppered up
right now.  Then again, I didn't look very hard, having that URL on-hand
this time around.

  This must be some new software product marketing strategy: Make sure

  I don't think you would.  AFAIK, Red Hat only supports the previous major
release for binary compatibility.  You would have to install the old RHL 5.x
libraries yourself.  Possible, but not fun.
