Perhaps the ultimate would be a system where RH went to a central repository
and pulled current RPMs when it first installed.
Our network install of Red Hat already basically does this. A cronjob downloads the updates and puts them into the redhat install directory and updates the file list. So when we do the next install we don't have to update the packages as they already are updated.
System admins would love the use of RedHat's up2date for keeping workstations updated. Freshmeat lists 2 projects that act as replacement for RedHat's up2date servers: Current <http://www.biology.duke.edu/computer/unix/current/> and NRH-up2date <http://www.nrh-up2date.org/>.
