You could look at www.fedoralegacy.org (or do a search for Fedora 
Legacy). From what I hear, they will basically be supporting end-of-life 
RedHat products... for security updates anyway.

I don't know about that as Fedora servers will have their own Fedora 
updates and not RH9... I may be wrong.

Sorry but I must remain silent on this one. I have no idea if you can 
"apt" your way from RH9 to FC1 or FC2. Maybe you could download disc 1 
or create a boot disk and do an FTP install, so you won't need any 
physical media other than the initial boot disk. I guess I didn't remain 
silent after all.

Hope this helps...
