The website <http://www.fedoralegacy.org/about/faq.php> states:

"For supported Red Hat Linux releases, we will continue to issue
back-port security or critical fixes for as long as there is community
interest, but for at least another 1.5 years from their official Red Hat
End of Life."

so for Red Hat 9 this would mean 1st November 2005. This could *easily*
slip though; it really does depend entirely on how community interest
keeps up.

(Red Hat 7.3 is still supported by us at present).

Cheers,

Dominic.
