Go to http://fedora.redhat.com/download/ todownload and follow the instructions. Since I have just upgraded two machines to RH9 and have one still on RH8 (that is, if I can get it unjammed) I'm not in a hurry to make a change just yet.

how would you upgrade to fedora from rh9 then? I am new at this and need it
to go as smooth as possible whne it does happen. The redhat server we have
would get lots more uptime if my boss knew how to use linux... whenever he
messes something up he just reboots and my scripts set it up correctly
again...
