I can use yum to install packages, but that's only online right? I can't 
see how to get them off my disk and then upgrade (if there's any real 
advantage in that). I've just put smart on my system to see what that's 
like.

I don't understand why something so central to a machines smooth running 
as keeping up-to-date is plastered by so many different programmes - and 
different approaches by different linux distros. What's up with that? Is 
there a history of linux lesson out there that I've missed?
