Your points are valid. However, nothing of what I have said is meant to imply that either is a better tool than the other, or that either tool is in some way inferior. For users with the (not too complicated) knowledge to manage their updates properly, it is obviously a viable solution to use both for their respective packages. BUT... When you run an office with 15 people and none of them know whether their computer has four or six cylinders, you choose specific paths. And in my case, one of those paths is to say that those who use Red Hat are told and taught how to use up2date and are given written instructions with pictures should they choose to consult it. Adding a second update manager to the mix would lead my users straight to "But Windows was simpler" and me straight through the roof. Now I just wish Red Hat would issue an update for Evolution! 8.0 is at 1.0.8-10, gnomehide is at 1.1.2-1, and I see Rawhide is way ahead at 1.2.1-4. Can we get a little help for the rest of us here? -- Rodolfo J.
