OMSA for Red Hat 9?

[Peter Serwe]

I would strongly recommend that you don't consider Fedora for an 
application that
needs to be stable, doesn't need bleeding-edge hardware support, and 
want maximum
compatibility with oldschool RH9 without being RHEL4 which costs way too 
much
for what it is (IMHO).  In jumps CentOS.  A living, breathing free 
clone(ish) of the
upstream, with a focus on not breaking things.
