you have several alternatives :-)

- to stay with RHL 7.2, 7.3 or 9 and: x to get updates from Fedora Legacy

What would be the easiest approach to take if one wanted to stay with RH 9 and
get updates from Fedora Legacy? With up2date, one does not even need to check
for updates, the icon changes to red. One click and voila, the update is done.

Fedora has APT repositories.

So, how would one know if updates are available (errata notices)?

You could write a cronjob that runs the appropriate apt-get command to check for updates
and then (if available updates are detected) sends you an e-mail.

Will all packages be supported, i.e., mysql server, vsftpd, and so on?

You get what you pay for, it is a community project being maintained by volunteer efforts
