I mentioned Fedora 9 and CentOS 9 (Stream) simply because they tend to be compatible, and something that works on them is likely to work on Rocky9.
RHEL 8.x is based on Fedora 28. RHEL 9.x is based on Fedora 34 via CentOS Stream. You can find this information on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux#Version_history_and_timeline Fedora 9, on the other hand, was released in 2008. It was between RHEL 5 and 6; RHEL 6.x was based on Fedora 12. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Linux_release_history#Fedora_Linux_9) I'm not sure where you heard/read that Fedora and RHEL versioning were synchronized, but as you can see from the above articles, they differ by a lot. (And that difference is actually growing, not shrinking, due to Fedora's much shorter release life cycle.) :-) Michael -- Michael E.
