I've been using Red Carpet to get my Mandrake upgrades, and all of the other goodies that they provide (basically every Linux package out there--including, of course Mozilla). I even decided to pay my $7.95 a month to get access to their high speed services. I suspect that the time may come when I find this service unnecessary, but as a beginner, I have found it extremely helpful to have all of these updates installed automatically.
Usually when someone recommends me to download such-and-such a package, with such-and-such a version number, I go to Red Carpet and not only find that it is there, but in a newer version. So far, I have not had a single problem with anything that I have installed through this service.
