I haven't but I installed apt-get for rpm last week and it upgraded
a buncha stuff for me when I ran it last night.

my only redhat system is behind 2 firewalls and a NIDS, and I am the
only person who has an account(home network) so I'm not *too* concerned
about security on it.

so I reccomend grabbing apt-get and using it when up2date is not
available, or if your really serious about using redhat get a RHN
account. I only have redhat so I can play with it, my main systems
are all debian.

or you could always get the upgrades the old fashioned way by
downloading them via ftp.
