Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason you've chosen RH9?  This has
passed the end-of-life date from RedHat, which means that RH is no longer
supporting this product.  At the very least, you may want to take a look at
Fedora (http://fedora.redhat.com), which seems to be the successor to the
RedHat Linux line.
