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.  

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

What mechanism would be used, apt? 

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

If workable, this approach may very well solve a lot of my problems.

Does/will Fedora Legacy have a separate mailing list?

Thanks.

Mike.
