OK. Too much hardware trouble & hassles. I'm in the process of reinstalling RH 7.1 (7.2 keeps failing early in the package install), as I think I've now lost ~all~ my data on the hard drives. With any luck, it'll actually install on ~this~ hard drive since gentoo wouldn't even let me get to the first boot. Anyway, I'm looking for a faster & better means of updating a RH box than up2date. I see rpmfind can do what up2date does, with the implication it won't fuck up. Anyone ever used it? Is it a good alternative?
