don't most rpm systems now come with automatic updaters?

e.g. mandrake - urpmi, redhat - up2date, connectiva, - apt-rpm. suse -
yast online update etc etc.


That was an excerpt from googlin. up2date works for me, has never let me down and there are tons
of options for it. It will be continued even when ported to Fedora, so back at ya :P
