I'll give it a shot, but how do I use up2date without having to sign up 
for a RHN account?  Whenever I try to run up2date, I get prompted for my 
RHN id and password, then I get told it's an invalid architecture/OS 
release combination.

As for up2date, is it any easier these days to get SRPMs?  I used to 
have to re-configure it whenever I wanted even just one SRPM.  With apt, 
it's a breeze (if the repo supports SRPMs :): apt-get source <package-name>

Thanks,
pete
