Make your life much easier and get whichcd from sourceforge.net
(http://whichcd.sf.net). Install it and whenever you find something you
would like to install first check if it's not already somewhere on your
RH9 cd set with the command whichcd <name>. If it is not part of RH9
then have a look on www.freshrpms.net and www.gurulabs.com.

Good luck and welcome to the Free World :)

Cheers,
