Beauty of Unix is that you can glue together what you want. You already
have RPM, you already have access to all RPM updates. You (and many others
including me) are too lazy to go through hundreds of updated RPMs and
install them one be one.
Well... hmmm.... I wonder..... bingo! "AUTOMATE THE DAMN THING!!!". Then
you wouldn't even need to consider Service Pack Style updates, because you
(just like me) are probably too lazy even for one update per month. For
starter have a look at autorpm (I think it's in powertools).
too lazy to update RPMs by hand,
