Hi,
RH 9 is no longer supported directly. You need to use www.fedoralegacy.org to 
get the updates. Visit that site and read the instructions (in download or 
documentation link) to set up either yum or apt to use with RH9 and the 
fedora-legacy repository.

I don't know of a GUI tool, you can probably set up2date to use Fedora Legacy, 
but yum or apt seem to be the most popular solutions.
