If you go with RedHat-6.2, there's Athena packages for it which are
fully supported by I/S.
See:
http://web.mit.edu/acs/min-std-athena.html
for what the supported options are, and links to installation
instructions.
If you try to put the same packages on top of redhat 7.0, you'll need
to do some hacking around, but you're likely to be able to put together
something that works. The main disadvantage of doing this is that there's
no way to update it to future Athena releases, and no support for it,
other than what volunteers here are able to tell you.
