Red Hat Linux is no longer a supported Red Hat distribution. Red Hat
Linux came out in version numbers like 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.0, 9. No
other versions were after that (code was given to the Fedora Core
Project who have since released FC1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with 6 just around the
corner).
 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a commercially supported Red Hat
distribution. It has release numbers of 2.0, 3 and  4 (with relevant
Update CD's).
 
There is no such thing as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. If you were sold
Red Hat Linux 9, then you should have never bought it since it's too old
and unsupported by Red Hat. The seller should have told you to either
buy RHEL or download Fedora Core 5 for free.
 
For more information on this (and verification if necessary), feel free
to visit www.redhat.com and www.fedoranews.org
 
Regards,
 
Michael.
 
PS. if you still wish to use Red Hat Linux 9, then _security_ errata is
available through the www.fedoralegacy.org project, but don't expect
official support from this group either, as it's community based.

I don't think the Red Hat company supports the "Red Hat Linux" product
anymore.  From what I found during an intensive 5 search for information
on Red Hat Linux is that 9.0 is the last "Red Hat Linux" product made.
After that Red Hat started "The Fedora Project"  which started of course
at Core 1.  This is the product I have just installed on my PC.  The
Fedora project is based on the Linux kernel, just like Red Hat Linux.
The Red Hat Project's latest release is "Core 5" and they are soon to
release Core 6 (from what I have read).  Now there is a "Red Hat Linux
Enterprise" product of which the latest release is 9.0.  If you paid
money for THAT product then you should be able to get product support
from Red Hat.  Just go to the web site and follow their directions.
There are customer support numbers that you can use to get help
providing that you have the proper product codes handy.  If all you are
looking for are the upgrades to the latest Red Hat open source products,
then going to the Red Hat Website is still an option for you.  Find the
iso images you need and burn them onto cds or a dvd disk.  Then all you
need to do  is reload the OS.  I don't know if you can just update the
OS  without doing a re-install.  There probably is a way but I have yet
to learn it.
