Note from the REDHAT Road Tour !

[Christopher Wagner]

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "spammed".  The only thing I get is
the update notifications.  Although, I remember something about a "special
offers" checkbox somewhere, though I don't think I had to uncheck it.

I do hate the playing games with the servers, though..

I just installed Red Carpet today, it seems like a nice program, if people
are interested, I will provide a more detailed analysis as it applies to my
system.

I don't know what Mandrake has these days.  The Redhat updater will take
care of dependencies, and you can pick and choose what to upgrade, but
you still have to use their overworked servers, and register, and get
spammed, and are limited to one computer for free unless you play games.
In other words, no thanks I'll use apt-get for rpm.
