<plug> if you haven't seen debian's "apt-get" facility,
you don't know how wonderful upgrades can be. </plug>

i've never messed with rpm's ... :)

i just do

    apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

and all my currently-installed packages are checked for available
patches, which are then applied. done! very, very handy.

so handy, in fact, that i can screw up my postgresql database
by being too trusting...
