Could anyone offer any links and/or instructions to help me set something up ... or point me in a certain direction?
* Get an http or ftp daemon working on one of your machines.
* Set up an rsync job to download the available RPM's for your machines on a regular basis.
* At the tail end of that job, run "yum-arch /path/to/rpms"
* Make sure your /path/to/rpms is accessible via http or ftp
* Add the relevant URLs to your /etc/yum.conf on all client machines.
* "chckconfig yum on && service yum start" on your yum client machines.
That is the most basic way to get auto updates going on all your machines.
If you want to get into pseudo-pushing packages out, you want to Google the yum mailing list archives to figure out how to make a yumgroups.xml (easy) and probably update your daily cron job to do something like "yum groupinstall mybundle". It's easier than you think.
Due to 2.4 security issue, I have been tasked with plan to upgrade from 2.4 kernels to 2.6. So far I have found the migration path to be less than optimal
