It is supported.

I guess you have a choice right now. Either you go for the $0 version
(either install from FTP/HTTP or burn your own CD - these two are the only
options in UltraPenguin you had), or you go for a $40 version, or $80
version (I don't know how much does it cost exactly but think I've read
those two numbers for CD sets without/with installation support).

I really don't think it would make any sense to cp -a redhat-6.0 ultrapenguin-1.2
and with the exception of tape install and maybe two or three little other things
everything what was in ultrapenguin is in redhat, plus redhat 6.0 is based on
glibc-2.1 and many things have changed since rh5.2 ultrapenguin-1.1.9 was
forked from.
