I just did a clean install of Red Hat 9 on my main box and installed a bunch of apps and their dependencies.
To make things easier for myself down the road, I am going to burn them all to a cd, but I also made a list of them on my guide.
So if you use Red Hat 9 (clean install only not from an upgrade - upgrade messed up things for me, hence the fresh install).
Anyway, here is my page which is linked from my main page:

have fun!
