Story: Build your own Linux server
Redhat 9 seems a questionable choice given that updates are no longer available. A good alternative now are the various free rebuilds of Redhat Enterprise Linux e.g. ...
http://taolinux.org/
http://www.caosity.org/
http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/index.html
http://www-oss.fnal.gov/projects/fermilinux/
All of these project aim to track RHEL and thus should be good for updates for the next 4-5 years.
For anything mission critical it is worth taking the hit and paying for RHEL itself of course, but for second tier systems I have found Tao an excellent choice.
