What do you guys think. Kinda of Microsoftish, but does it really do a good job? I like the idea of having my box updated automatically but is it worth it. I have a few systems that I have tried and it hasn't given me any problems thus far and seems to work.
What are your opinions, stick with it, or update manually with the RPM.s from the update on redhat?

I use it for my personal Linux box at home and we also use it at work to update 25 machines. It works great! It's extremely easy to use and takes care of all dependencies. You just sign-up for an account and then run up2date from a command line. You can choose to update everything listed or pick and choose.
i agree with the first reply, it makes good sence if you have LOTS of computers that are running mission critical servers and\or apps to keep updated, since its not free i dont use it for my Redhat install, i only have a few computers to worry about i just go to a mirror and find the updates that i need and download & install them manually (if it aint broke don't fix it)...

It's free..... for me at least. I think it's only free when you run it on one computer, if you use it on more than one it costs money.
It's pretty cool, ironically enough I think just about everything on it is mirrored on Red Carpet's RH 7.2 channel.
