Where can I get Red Hat Linux 9.0 Professional?

What is the best source to obtain a copy of Red Hat Linux 9.0 Professional? I want that specific release to prepare a dual-boot laptop for a SANS training conference. I know there are several distros I could pick instead, but RHL 9.0 Pro is what they use in their training and docs. I am in the beginner-intermediate skill set category and I want to eliminate the confusion that may result from a different distro.

The problem is that RedHat isn't selling this version of its OS any more. You might get lucky in a store carrying an old box or someone selling it at an online auction like eBay, but I wonder. Meanwhile you might consider the "default" RedHat 9 release that still can be downloaded from numerous places like this FTP site.
