In my opinion one thing missing from the Enterprise Linux package is a "push" method of updating.  If I have 250 
servers/workstations and I want to keep them up to date I have to touch each machine individually to make it happen.  
We need an open source "push" method of updating.  Redhat SUS ?  Maybe Citadel will take my suggestion and make a Linux 
only version of Hercules available for free.  That way we can use the same tool to push updates to Windows and Linux 
servers.  Kent, Carl, Steve?  You hearing me?
