I am sure most people know about this already but since I just recently
figured it out
I thought it was worth a post.
I have a Redhat 9 box I still run (family pictures, etc) that I really do
not want to take the time to
upgrade to fedora or something new.
The fedora legacy project provides a yum compatible RPM updates/patches site
for RH 9 and
higher (Higher being things liek FC1, FC2, etc).
It is really nice to just do a
yum update
to get your box updated with (most) of the latest security and other
patches.

Took about 20 minutes to get box configured to use site (had to update RPM
and then manually
configure the yum package (supposedly a pre-configured yum install is due
soon).

Also note that the have an apt style repository setup as well but I just
went with yum because I had
used it more recently.
