What that option does on RH9, is to not use the NPTL threading patches
that RH put into RH's newer 2.4 kernels.

No it doesn't. 

This was RH's option to allow programs that had problems with NPTL to
not use it.

Right now (as Colin mentioned), it's advisable to actually use Fedora
Core 1 (essentially RH 10), with YUM it's a lot easier get all the
latest upgrades (newer than RH9), while giving you the same easy to user
interface that are used to with RH.
