Re: rpm deployment

Some very forward-thinking individuals have ported Debian's APT package management tool to RPM. If you are willing to grant the machines outbound HTTP or FTP access, you are an "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" away from being current. Check out this page for more detail: http://freshrpms.net/index-main.html

Hope this helps,
