I keep a mirror of OpenBSD 2.7 here on my MagusNet drives.
I'll bring a couple of CDs to the next meeting or have someone
drop them off for me.

RH 6.2 has the same feature, albeit with a few bugs. I tried to use it to
upgrade the kernel and after it crunched away determining which updates were
appropriate for my system, it came back with a message saying it was
excluding the kernel rpms because I hadn't requested them. There is no way
to select packages to upgrade in advance, so there is no way to use the
update feature to upgrade the kernel.

I've been lurking on one of the public Red Hat lists which deals with
Red Hat 7. I think the message below answers several of the questions
that folks on this list have had about Red Hat 7 in the past.

The Red Hat Network has a free level of service that allows you to
download and instal updates. Just use the "anonymous" registration
through the GUI or commandline:
up2date -r -l
to list the updates that apply to your system, then:
up2date -r [list the packages you want do download here]
a future version of the command line interface will allow:
"up2date -r -u" which will download and install all the updated
package that apply to your system.
This level will always be free.
