Red Hat 9 on FTP?

Well, certainly when I connected with good old smartftp (http://www.smartftp.com), to ftp.mirror.ac.uk, it was there. Downloading it now in fact. So to all of you who want the latest version of Red Hat Linux, I am sure you can find it now.

I would recommend it, certainly. Everything works and its very easy to install.

You can view the list of mirror sites here (http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html).

Your guess is as good as mine as to whether you will find the Red Hat 9 iso files on whatever server you try yet.

some other are lucky, some other are not :D

I'm on a Debian right now so i don't think I will scratch the whole thing :p

Btw I would like to know if there is a way to install RPMs on Debian, or we can only use DEB packages / tarballs ??

i believe there is a program called alien which converts between .rpm and .deb, etc...
