Re: [rhn-users] demo accounts

[Chris Spencer <CSpencer CAIT org>]

Debian's solution to the updates is a program called apt.  Apt was
faithfully ported by Conectiva (I think) to work with RPM's.  A few
places have faithfully maintained repositories with all the latest
updates.

I think it is a good idea to pay Red Hat for the service they are
providing.  I would gladly do so if they would just dump the $2000/min
on PO's.  

Information on apt (and some repositories) is available at:

At least you won't be rejected.
