If you have the bandwidth, why not do it every day?  It is just as
brain-dead as Windows Update.

Unfortunately, automatic updating in Red Hat is a pay service, although you
get one free computer with up2date access.

Register with "rhnregister".

Login to the RH Network web site using your new account and set your
preferences.

Then you can use "up2date" to automatically update your packages.
Command-line version is "up2date -u"

Mandrake's Software Manager can do the same thing for free, but you need to
configure it to point to a reliable mirror.
