Supporting RedHat Enterprise Linux is how RedHat make their money. I think you have two choices: 1) pay for support for RHEL 2) Download a Fedora 10 or 11 ISO image, burn a DVD from it and then replace RHEL 5 with Fedora. Fedora is RedHat's for-free distro. All the upgrade mirrors, etc will 'just work' and you'll have the most recent versions of all packages since the Fedora maintenance/release cycle is faster than RHEL (6 month release cycle vs. 12-18 months).

You have to be a registered user for RHEL, which implies a paid support contract, to get upgrades and to install extras packages etc. However, the same type of support is free for Fedora. I installed Wine via yum without any problems - but on the Fedora distro, not RHEL. Martin
