As Red Hat would say, "it's not supported, but it might work."

You can download the RHEL5 beta from ftp.redhat.com or you can register
for a complimentary evaluation and get the beta and support channels.
Find the announcements for better information re the evaluation version.
You could also start with Fedora Core 6 which is the base for RHEL5.
