The release notes for RH9 mention NPTL. I would find it highly unlikely for a feature like NPTL to slip in after release, given that bugfixes only occur as backports and not wholesale upgrades. I would normally say contact your vendor and get a real answer, but since RH9 is _end_of_lifed_ I am not sure how far you get with that approach. That being said, if you have to follow the Red Hat product line, I would strongly suggest moving to the RHEL-based prodcuts. If your pocket book cannot handle it, use CentOS, which respins the source RPMS from the enterprise line. CentOS 2 follows RHEL2, which is based on RH7.3. CentOS3 follows RHEL3, which is based on RH9. -Vince
