I started this subject initially and got allot of input that was appreciated. Thanks to everyone for their input. I was checking out Mike's suggestion below with Synaptic pointed to http://ayo.freshrpms.net. I also recently received an update notice from RedHat Network. I compared the version updates from both and noticed agreement on program versions on both. Freshrpms.net did have additional program updates available according to Synaptic but I did not see these on the Freshrpms.net update list for RH 9. This is the first time that I have checked Freshrpms.net with Synaptic in the last few months and that RH 9 upgrades were available (Nov 6th appeared to be the cutoff). This time it appeared to include core RH 9 program updates. So I wondered if Freshrpms.net now maintains a repository for RH 9's latest update? Including the RH 9 core programs? I assume that was what Jesse's suggestion regarding http://www.fedoralegacy.org was getting at.
