You can easily upgrade RH9 to WBL3.0 (http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/). 
WBL3.0 and RH9 are fairly binary inter-compatible as well.

Get and burn the WBL3.0 CD's and enter 

'linux upgradeany'

At the SYSLINUX prompt.  Should go smoothly (I've done several boxes
that way at UMass).

You should be able to get all of the various bits and pieces you need to
upgrade GnuCash, either from http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/ or from
rpmfind.net.
