both DHCP clients and servers are available for Linux, and pretty much all
general purpose distributions (including Red Hat) ship with them. some
distros even offer to set up internet connection sharing as an option in the
installer.
in any case, in Linux to share a connection you'll want to set up your DHCP
daemon (which is pretty much as easy as installing it from rpm, defining one
or two things in /etc/dhcpd.conf and starting it) and then set up ipchains or
iptables (the Linux firewall software) to do NAT... RH offers a simple GUI
tool for the latter (dunno about dhcpd though) ...
