Redhat is one of the very first to update packages when a security
advisory is released.

Sure they don't update packages every time something comes out with a
new version.  That's what new releases of Redhat are for.  It gives
Redhat time to run Q&A to make sure all the package versions work well
with each other.

Redhat.

BSware!

Released weekly by KLUG, which is Redhat with all the current updates.
I recommend coming to meetings and buying a new BSware every week!  :-)
