I am trying to get RedHat linux setup on Virtual Server 2005, however Microsoft states that the versions of RedHat that are compatible are

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 (update 6)

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 (update 6)

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0

• Red Hat Linux 7.3

• Red Hat Linux 9.0

Now I think the "enterprise" ones are the pay versions of redhat, but how about the 7.3 and 9.0 versions. In my searches around the web, it appears that even version 9 is rather old??

I would try a newer build, or even fedora, but the Virtual Machines additions drivers are only stated to work with the given versions above. The additions drivers boost the guest OS performance in a virtual machine, and are really NEEDED to make using the guest OS a decent experience.

So I found this archive link. Does this look like it would be what I need?
ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pu...at/linux/9/en/

Also what is the newest version of RedHat that is available? I know fedora core is version 6, but fedora and redhat are technically 2 different things right?
