Yes.

CentOS 3.  http://www.centos.org

It is basically RHEL 3 without the cost of entry/maintenance.  And RHEL is 
a lot like RH 9 so it is familiar ground for you.

The only technical issue really nagging the distribution right now is a 
problem with Evolution which might already be fixed.  Other than that the 
only thing keeping us from going "stable" is hunting down remaining Red 
Hat trademarks.  It is a stable distribution, and will be supported as 
long as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 is.  All the RH9 machines at work are 
being reloaded with CentOS, and it has been running fine on a production 
file server since Build 4 came out.

Join us in #centos on irc.freenode.net if you want to talk to the project 
team.
