Look into using yum

good description here:

I'm sure there are lots of repositories for rhel 3. ( whitebox and centos both 
use yum - fully rhel compatible )

But, I am pretty sure that by doing so you will void any support you have with 
RedHat.


Also, there is the debian user friendly way.

look here for apt on RHEL

look here for the apt rpm's

# Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
rpm http://apt.sw.be redhat/el3/en/i386 dag

good luck. ( with rpm based distro's, you'll need it )
