2005 called and they want their RHEL4 back!

Either update to 5 or run 4 through virtualization.

thanks, but how we can do it through virtualization ?

Vivek,

Do you only want to use RHEL4? Any specific application that you want to run on RHEL?

Have you tried to use fedora?

Well first you install a host operating system of your choice (say, RHEL5 or Fedora). Then you create a virtual machine and install RHEL4 under it. See also: RHEL5 virtualization manual

I have made good experience with VirtualBox on Mandriva, installing then several other popular OS's

(not Mac OS though due to license restriction).  You need probably to install a recent Linux distro (Ubuntu,

Fedora, OpenSuse, etc.)and then Red Hat REL 4.0 in a virtual box.
