KRUD, Kevin’s RedHat Uber Distribution

Those of you running RedHat servers might want to subscribe to KRUD, Kevin’s RedHat Uber Distribution. Every month you get a CD with all of the latest patches and builds applied. “May 2001 KRUD includes two new utilities for KRUD: krudfind and krud2date. krudfind uses a database of package information to make it easy to find all of the packages you need to install to load a particular service. It will resolve dependencies, download the files, and install them… all in a single pass! No more hunting for which RPM provides an obscure library! krud2date lets you update all of the installed packages on your system, including following all the dependencies, with a single command. ” [Zope Newbie News]
