Re: [LUG] Updating Red Hat 9

["Chycor Ltd" <phil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks David and Alex,

Many thanks for that. I will investigate this further. I guess the next step
is to find out just how active the support for Red Hat 9 is as the blurb
states that their support is based upon community involvement. I would
speculate that there are still a large number of Red Hat 9 users in a
similar position to myself.

Thanks again.

Regards
Philip Radford
