A subscription service is available, where you get a fresh set of CDs every month w/ the up-to-date errata and bug fixes. Not quite as instantaneous as up2date or the like, but it makes it nice to know that a freshly installed system is not going to have security holes more than 30 days or so old. Then you can run up2date, assuming you have an RHN membership, or use KRUDs tool , krud2date. I personally don't have a lot of experience w/ either update tool, so I can't recommed one or the other.
