Define "compatible".  RH9 is very very *very* old.  It's from
2003.
It got replace with Fedora.  To confuse you, "RedHat Enterprise Linux"
(RHEL) is a not the same as "RedHat Linux" (RH).  CentOS follows RHEL.
RHEL 2.1 was approximately RH7.  RHEL3 ~= RH9.  RHEL6 ~= Fedora 12.

So some of the ideas (eg "rpm") are the same, but because it's old
many
of the details will be wrong.
