I'm looking at this document to convert RHEL4 systems to Yum and setup an updates repository.
Which version of yum would you recommend for that? What would be the dependencies that need to be installed? Any guidelines for installing Yum on RHEL4 without breaking the RPM dependencies and stuff (and with minimal changes to the system)?
The document recommends yum-2.0.7, but that's pretty old, I guess.

Wouldn't this break things enough to lose the RedHat support? If so, you might as well migrate to CentOS.

Never mind, you just lose support on anything installed through yum. And I would guess, anything that they think was broken by what was installed by yum.

I would recommend looking at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/YumOnRHEL

I have my own repo here for AS/ES4 and we run yum 3.0 without problems.
