Have you tried kportage?
I have. Again, not enough like Windows Update in the Ease of Use
department...
A little button running 'emerge -Uu system' and 'emerge -Uu world'?
The only problem is that new config files need to be dealt with by
hand. Of course, if you always use defaults, even this can be handled
by emerge.
But, I get your point.
Redhat's nice in that it's got the 'RedHat update utility' for
getting security updates... as long as I put a web browser, office
suite, and DVD player on that doesn't crash he should be happy...
not everyone needs the latest versions ;)
Similar with SuSE. I guess most serious distros have this feature.
Having run RH7.3 for a while and having used up2date, I must agree with
you. Of the mega distros, I like RedHat best. I gave up on RH simply
because I couldn't find compatible packages for a lot of the toys I
wanted to play with. For unsophisticated users, RH is a good choice.
Hey!
I sure hope you don't mean that all RH-users are unsophisticated users...
FWIW apt for rpm and synaptic provide nice GUI front-ends to RPM...
