Note that Red Hat 9 is a bit obsolete, and has been replaced by Fedora releases.
Before the Fedora split, Redhat had split their distribution into a "consumer" branch and an "enterprise" branch. Then they essentially spun off the consumer branch and handed it off to the community. The Fedora project was already doing something similar, so Redhat gave it to them.
As for the Enterprise branch, Redhat makes the source RPMs available for download, and the CentOS project recompiles them to produce downloadable iso images. The only thing missing from CentOS is the support contract. If you *really* need an official corporate support contract, then you should be buying the enterprise edition.
So there's really two good choices here: Fedora, if you want to run the latest bleeding-edge code; and CentOS, if you want to run code that's been burned-in and tested for stability. Personally, I tend to favor Fedora for workstations and CentOS for servers.
