Red Hat 3 is old, I doubt if sata was around then, (I may be wrong) if you want a newer version of Red Hat, download Fedora from Here (http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora.html). It will have a newer Kernel and sata souldn't be a problem.
If you are just starting out in Linux, you may want to give Ubuntu a try, or Debian Etch.

Red Hat stopped at Version 9 and then the Open source version taken over by Fedora.
Fedora is now in version 7. Thus making a Red Hat 3 to work with a Sata disk may be flogging a dead horse now. You will have many other hardware issues awaiting you even if you can install it in a Sata which has moved to Sata II now.

He probably means RHEL, which is currently in release 5. But I agree, Fedora is probably a better way to go.

Or maybe a more recent RHEL, perhaps CentOS?

CentOS is very nice, but I still prefer Fedora. It is a little more cutting edge, which may mean, he might want to go either way. :D

That's its problem. It is bleeding edge, in my opinion. I love CentOS because you get stable RHEL for free!
