Just reiterating. Up2date is available in Fedora. I'll not be
reiterating that point again.
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/updates.html
Notice what a Fedora Update is. Check the last sentence before Proposed
Fedora Updates. Review some change logs....The latest changes to
up2date allow it to connect to different mediums (like ftp servers) to
update packages. :-)

What about Suse and Mandrake, i know that Suse is got a good server
plataform and manndrake is very good in desktops, but is also good for
server plataform, how ever i'm concerned also mostly for the up2date
that as i understand is not aviable with fedora, or else what sould we
do with our production server once the up2date is gone.
