Linux system administration methodology or best practice

[Ezra Taylor]

Kevin:
             You can create your own RPM repo.  I would assume you can
download all the rpm's from RHN.  Then setup your own repo.  Next you point
all your servers to the new repo.  This way, all your machines will be
updated from just one repo.  Note, CentOS is a Redhat clone.  It will be
much cheaper to maintain Centos then RHEL from Redhat.
