I usually use autorpm from www.kaybee.org, it seems to work pretty well =
and
the default setup only gets signed updates from official rh mirrors. =
There
is also an up2date clone called NRH-up2date. I believe there is also a =
way
to setup red-carpet from ximain to do automatic updates. It can be setup =
to
only get stuff for a specific rh distro, you don't have to use it to =
install
or update gnome. I have been using up2date on fedora and haven't been =
ask to
pay yet.

Subject: Is there a Red Hat "up2date" equivalent???
Now that RH is going paid only, I'm looking for a new distro.
The biggest reason I love(d) RH to begin with was it's "up2date" service =
that I could set as a daily cron job to make sure my system =
automatically=20
downloaded and installed any applicable patches for my box.
Question: Is there any alternative/equivalent service on a different=20
distro that is free? I'm trying not to turn the thread into a distro=20
war, hence this specific question.
TIA!
Scott
