There's also rpm-get and AutoRPM which work well when configured
properly. 

I think it might be worth the Linux at theOffice community sending a few
greenbacks RedHat's direction to support them, especially in
environments where the admin downloaded ISO images and loaded lots of
machines without paying RedHat a penny.  There's still a business model
problem there... 

And since no one's said it yet... There's also your friendly
neighborhood KRUD guys, fighting for truth, justice, and the American
way here in the group too.  :-)  Their stuff is usually further along in
patch revs than RedHat, if you need to be further toward the bleeding
edge than RH is... GRIN.
