On the topic of patching, we have our first test Linux server up and running. Being new to Linux, what tool and process is used by most to maintain the servers? Reading the RH Cookbook 5.2 chapter 11 talks about using RPM and yum. Is this where I get started?

I have been patching once every 3-4 months (over 100 servers - sles 9 thru 11) and have been told that I had to start patching much more frequently. I'd like to find out what other people are doing.
