The team produced the NPTL builds since the book went to press. They
obviate the need to revert to the old threading model. Just install and go.

If your particular distro of RH 9 has problems with NPTL, you could still
reinstall with the non-NPTL build and use the reversion
technique. "Problem" in this context means the server will hang if more
than one user tries to connect; or it will hang with one user connected if
the GC thread tries to start. I haven't heard of anyone having this
problem with RH 9 and the NPTL build, though.
