I would recommend setting up an SMT (Subscription Management tool) server. This is a LAMP based setup which will download all the repositories from Novell subscription and all the zLinux images can use this as patch server.

I would like to set up a patch management sytem to keep my Linux images updated. I have an image created as a Linux code repository. I would like to use it to install patches as well. Can someone tell me what the best approach is? Is YOU the best or is there a better way. I don't want all of my images connected to the Internet. I want to have the patches downloaded to an image and distributed from there.
