HOWEVER, you are much better off using yum instead of up2date. up2date is MUCH slower than yum (it works with individual header files instead of a combined metadata file) and up2date can not use plugins like fastestmirror or priorities. Remember ... the part of up2date that el4 uses for RHN is mcuh different than the part that is used for yum repos like in centos. It is basically just a yum-2.0 that is built into up2date ... only it is not even all the yum-2.0 functionality. The yum in centos-4 is considerably better than up2date ... which is why the removed it from el5 :D If you want a GUI ... yumex is in extras too.
