I ordered/recieved and installed Fedora (yarrow). Only a few bucks on 
CD. I like it. Not a REAL big difference from RH9. Had a bit of trouble 
with the nvidia driver. Wouldn't compile correctly. Googled and found 
the answer. Have to "export CC=gcc32". Other than this one hang up, 
seems pretty good. Not sure if its a "must have" if your using RH9.
