You can get them from the CentOS site using yum (or up2date) in the same way as you would with RedHat Enterpise. We're considering building a repository here like we have for the legacy RedHat and Fedora installs - we have 2 CentOS machines at the moment and may have more soon so it'd be worthwhile. They claim to have patches within at least 72 hours of RH, usually a lot less. One worry is of course how long the outfit will last, but the constant changes in Fedora have been driving us crazy and we do object to having to buy RH Enterpise every damn year (it's incredibly faffy on our purchasing system too).
