RHEL 3 support will be available till 2010.

Mike, thanks,

nope, it's just for AMP .. or it PAM? MPA ? web and mail server thing


That's Apache. MySQL, Postfix?

In that case, I'd go with RHEL 4, for no other reason than it'll be supported for at least as far into the future as RHEL 3 was (RHEL always has support for 5 years, but they more popular releases like 2.1 and 3 have been extended to 7 years). If you're paying for support, you can use whatever version you want - just download the ISOs from RHN. Of course, the packages are newer and it's a little more pleasant to use too.

You might wanna check out Postgres if you have the time.

so, to run a web/sql/mail server with RHEL : 1GHz CPU and 1GB RAM should
be enough ?


It depends on the load. But these things tend to be more RAM bound than CPU bound, and adding RAM is easy.
