Can't remember any more ... probably some Red Hat website, around the
era of RH 8 or 9.

I installed the betas of Red Hat 9 when they came out. Then,
afterwards, I wanted to stay up to date with things.

Being able to get newer versions of software without having to
download, configure, and compile them myself. Most recently, I've been
selectively updating particular packages from rawhide: Eclipse,
Firefox, OpenOffice.org and KDE are the main ones.
