Re: easiest way to keep a Redhat 9 box

["David J. Bianco" <bianco () jlab org>]

Look for YUM (http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/).  This is quickly becoming
the new standard for auto-updating Linux distributions.  It works almost like
an overlay on top of your existing package management system (RPM in your
case).  It's quite good, and fairly easy to use.
