So you are saying that there is a way to continue to get > updates with RH9? from what i understand, the fedora legacy project will try to produce updates for critical packages. i think the link is at www.fedoralegacy.org, though i may be wrong. also, i think they have a yum repository for those updates, so it should just be a matter of installing yum, making sure the repo is in your yum.conf, and go yum update. of course, i may be wrong as i am no longer using rh9 and below, except for rh7.3. also of note, fedoralegacy isn't officially a part of redhat... so if you're paranoid... =) dex
