If Dell claims it's certified for RHEL 3 you'll be fine with Whitebox 3 
which is about as similair as technically and legally possible, I wouldn't 
say with 4 for sure as some things have changed, but I'd say it's 99% sure 
even 4 would do fine. And 4 does have some advantages (quicker boot, better 
MySQL performance)
