Regarding the support, this is one of the reasons I was thinking of switching. I seem to recall that up2date was not going to support RH9 any longer. This makes it a pain to keep the server patched, because i'd have to download and install each package, rather than using an up2date script someone provided for me from the shrike list (thanks again).
I was thinking that moving to fedora would allow me to keep the update service. 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
I think you are correct on the Fedora Legacy Project. I ran across a link from another poster's message regarding booting from USB keys.
It appears all one needs to do is choose yum or apt, install, and updates are provided. I still have some time on RH9, they said they will start support for it at the end of April.
