Let me say that I just bought another two years on my KRUD subscription. 
If you don't know, Kevin's Redhat UberDistribution is a monthly delivery 
of the latest RH with all the security issues fixed, latest versions of 
a lot of security stuff which doesn't come from RH, and in some cases 
newer versions of certain applications.

It has always been based on, but not limited to, a RH distro. Becuase 
they do the work to find and provide the fixes, and offer krud2date for 
the up-to-the-moment fixes, I find them worth having.

BTW: tummy.com did the early scanner stuff IIRC, and their stuff has 
always been very good to me. lately they have gone to FC1 base, and I 
haven't done a serious test of how solid their spin of that might be.

Just a super satisfied customer...
