I will say that the way I keep my systems up to date. (that wasn't intended 
as a pun) is apt-get. apt for rpm is great, and many people running redhat 
have been creating (word escapes me) (you know the things that apt uses, 
defined in sources.list) for redhat. 

google for "apt rpm" and the site you likely want is apt.tuxfamily.org (or 
something like that)
