Yeah, up2date is sweet, especially on a machine in a datacenter. All I gotta
do is keep an eye on bugzilla for Red Hat announcements, wait a few days to
see if there's any problems with the package, and then `up2date -u`.
Unfortuantely though, Red Hat aren't the quickest off the mark with new
packages. For example, the PHP package in Red Hat 7.0 and 7.1 is broken, and
has been for quite some time now. Very annoying that...
