Welcome to the Free Software world! Why do you use RedHat 9? It's abit outdated. You might want to get APT from www.rpmfind.net to update your OS since i believe up2date no longer works on RH9.
What emulator are you referring to? I assume you are talking bout a Windows emulator to run your Windows programs. In that case you would want to go to www.winehq.org and download WINE. It's not really an emulator as the name suggests (Wine Is Not an Emulator). It creates a fake Windows environment within your GNU/Linux OS. You can get the RedHat 9 RPM from the downloads section and install it by going
rpm -Uvh wine-20050111-1rh9winehq.i386.rpm
Once you've got it installed, then just type in wine in the terminal to run it for the 1st time. It will automatically create a fake Windows drive and install the Windows system files. To install software, you just do this in the terminal
wine name of install .exe
For example, if you want to isntall Quicktime, then you cd into the directory where you downloaded the Quicktime installer into and type in
wine iTunesSetup.exe
