I am actually using yum for most or our servers but found out that 
up2date allows rollback which may prompt me to switch to up2date.  I 
just didn't know what the drawbacks (if any) were to switching
from yum to up2date.  Right now I can see a major advantage which is 
rollback but I wanted to get the general opinion of more experienced 
folk.
