Hi,
I was doing some research and I notcied they stop supporting RedHat9 dec31,2004, should I be worried about upgrading that soon? I have a new box and I am going pretty well, so should I concern myself with this?

I think the new name that RH9 is going under will still be fully supported.
Its Fedora or something similar.
There should be something about that on the RH page
RH9 will still be available but its just under a new name

Yep, easiest way to go is to move to Fedora (inbox upgrade and free). RHEL (Enterprise) will cost you some money and you will need to do a fresh install to move to it.

You really need to plan moving away from old redhat versions right now (7.3 and 9).

I thought RH9 EOL was this Apr. I am running RHEL 3 on my server and boy what a difference from RH9.

Well, here's the thing,

I got a fancy new box,upgraded everything and if I do a OS upgrade to Fedora, will this destroy all customers data?
