I've never used apt before.It's worked well for me for over 6 months. As I live/work on the West Coast in SV the rhn is insanely slow compared to apt-get or a rh mirror. Also I can easily cache the the rpms for either.
Is this really safe?

For beginners especially I would say to stick with the updates that up2date grabs or that you DL from the Red Hat updates ftp server.
Keep in mind unless you start installing new package that are freshmeat only you are getting the exact same updates.
But to each his own....

Hi Gang,
I grabbed the RH9 updates directory, and am doing a rpm -Fv * There are a few disturbing errors, most notably this one:
glibc-2.3.2-27.9 error: %post(glibc-2.3.2-27.9) scriptlet failed, exit status 121
This is actually my second go at it - last time caused my system to be unbootable (init disabled all the runlevels because they were spawning too fast... possibly because none of the executables worked anymore?)
Has anybody looked into this?
Thanks,
