Yeah,

We ditched RedHat at version 9.0, went to Mandrake. The urpmi tools have us doing updates as much as twice per week if we like from our local mirror. I had been using RedHat server side since version 4.2, but started using Debian client side while RedHat 6.2 was on the servers. Better package management with automatic dependency resolution is definitely the way to go these days. There's really no excuse to not have it. Urpmi or apt makes full version upgrades a breeze.

red hat has had up2date and yum for a long, long, long time now.

yum was available for rhl 7.2 and up2date has been in there since rhl 7.0, iirc.

Those auto-satisify dependencies and update systems.
