Neither does Red Hat. If you know how to use wget or ftp, you can get everything you need and script it for free. You only shell out bucks for the convenience of Red Hat's automated front end to this manual process. Microsoft doesn't have anything to compare to up2date, nor does any closed-source vendor allow you as much control over the behavior of updates at any price. Most importantly, I'm not _required_ to wait for Red Hat to fix something for me, as I am with Sun and Microsoft. Red Hat has strengths that you cannot appreciate until you've maintained a large, heterogeneous network of platforms from both closed and open source vendors. - -d - -- David Talkington http://www.spotnet.org PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPBOxLL9BpdPKTBGtEQJCdACgp2109lAH8JBawm0yCnfvI2TFQ3sAnAi4 gyA4f2FSElVQg9ZI3n9kS6Eh =XumR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
