Can anyone help me to solve 2 problems I have with red hat 9? 1. I cannot register for updates. The first step (privacy statement) remains blank with the cursor showing busy. The next set of steps are filled in with the required information, but finishes with the error, problem registering user name.
2. If I use the apm command to suspend or standby, the screen shuts down then immediately turns itself back on, then the terminal window continually writes, root @ localhost root, until it is full. Then all programs do not respond,then eventually the whole screen is locked so the computer has to be turned off.

You won't be able to register - it's now a non-supported product superceeded by Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
You've now got the option of either purchasing Enterprise Linux 3 WS (workstation) from them for the sum of £117 (which includes a year subscription to the Red Hat Network), going to Progeny (http://www.progeny.com/) for their transition service (provides security updates to previous releases of Red Hat), or alternatively trying Fedora (http://fedora.redhat.com).

Thanks Martyn, does this mean that the problem I have with the apm command locking my computer cannot be resolved without the updates? If I decide to try fedora does this overwrite redhat9? Bearing in mind that I have a stand alone computer, (Dual boot with Windows XP) that is only for personal use and wish only to become familiar with a Linux OS. Bob Jarvis
