I have red-carpet installed on my RH8 system.  I find security patches 
come out on up2date a few days quicker then red-carpet.  red-carpet is 
cool for installing/removing packages even if you don't have the CDs 
handy.  And have a fast internet connection.

Has anyone setup a local internal up2date server?

If you like the apt tools, how about something like apt4rpm?
