Any software available to check the /updates directory on redhat or a mirror
and report and new versions of already *installed* packages. Generally I handle
updates by NFS mounting ftp.kernel.org and manually sifting through the updates
directory doing a lot of "rpm -qa |grep packagename" to see what version I have.
I also run quite a few installations, and remembering which packages are and
aren't installed is also a problem and requires manual checking.
