Noticing your .edu email address, you could purchase RHEL AS 3 for just
$50 or WS for $25, I went this route with 4 of my servers and just Monday
moved my last RH9 box up to FC2 (it's an internal server so I keep it a
little more bleeding edge).  I've found RHEL3 to be an excellent
replacement to RH9, pricing is kinda hard on the commercial businesses but
not for those of us in education :)  I do have one last RH7.3 box and the
proprietary app that runs on it won't work with RH8+, just crashes, not
sure where the issue is.  I have that box pulling updates via apt from
fedoralegacy and haven't had any issues so far.
