Red Hat Linux is no longer available for download on RedHat Network (they took it away a few months ago); It was old and obsolete software for today's standards.
However you can still download versions of RHEL ES, RHEL AS and RHEL WS for free (without support, though).
You just need to be registered in RHN and go to the "Downloads" option:
