i just bought a redhat 9.0 book which comes with the operating system and Ive install it as a server however Im having difficulties installing Swat and I just wonder if I have to spend buy an enterprise server or what ?
No, SWAT should work with Redhat 9.0 no problems. The only problem is that there have been problems reported with the SWAT supplied on the RH9 distro discs. Try here - it'll discuss the problem, where to download swat, and how to install.
I'm running SuSE 8.2 and Samba/SWAT work fine. You don't need to buy any kind of Enterprise product for this to work.
Check out www.samba.org for more documentation and downloads.
