    Jennifer,

    We have been using redhats network agent for two years now and have found it
    to be an excellent tool. The up2date command offers a variety of options to
    the end user automating services which previously would of taken quite some
    time to do. RHN is highly recommended! and worth its weight in gold for any
    sysadmin, cheers.
