KRUD - Kevin's RedHat Uber Distribution is put out by tummy.com.
Is a distribution that you can buy once in awhile or subscribe to.
Subscription gets you 2 CDs a month with a full current RedHat distribution
and all updates and security fixes and **a bunch of extra stuff**. Get the
CD, pop it in the drive do a `rpm -Fvh *rpm` and your system is updated.
An annual subscription is $65. The CDs usually arrive sometime between the
9th and the 16th and are current as of the 1st of the month. So, your
system will be between 2 and 6 weeks out of date. I subscribed for the
hassle free method of updating systems and it helped me meet an audit
requirement.
KRUD has it's own updater that allegedly will "resolve dependencies,
download the files, and install them... all in a single pass" I haven't
tried it.
