Uh, did you check the md5sums or signatures of the ISOs you
downloaded before you installed them?

If I'd found a copy of Red Hat 9 almost a week earlier than it was
supposed to be available I would be checking very hard to make sure it
wasn't trojaned.

I don't mean to sound like I'm having a go at Red Hat---quite the
contrary.  However I would be very concerned.
