www.centos.org as RH8 and 9 are no longer supported.  Your best bet is 
to download CentOS and go from there, read up on it and see what it 
is....it's Enterprise RH3 without support, though you could get an RHCE 
to support it if needed, and they have their own commercial support.

I use it often.
