Rep:
If I installed the new Fedora core would that supplant my RH9 files, I mean like some text files and some files I have for school on my machine? Or is it simply a kernel upgrade?
Also how would I go about finding the Fedora core if I were to decide to use it, would it cost anything(dumb question since this is open source, but I need to cover all my bases)

Fedora Core along with Redhat Enterprise Linux are the replacements of the old Redhat Linux (Redhat 9 and below). You can find out more about Fedora Core from fedora.redhat.com and fedoraproject.org. Its a completely free distro so you can download it from download.fedora.redhat.com. Since Fedora Core 5 is a lot newer than Redhat 9, you will have to backup your important files and then install Fedora Core in the partitions that you sere using for Redhat 9.
