On the FAQ, '...so yum has been brought in from Fedora along with a
version of up2date that can work with yum. So pick Up2Date Network from
the menu and it basically "just works"'

As the text said 'pick Up2Date Network from the menu and it basically 
"just works"' I thought that it might be accessing the fedora network.

I have read the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file, and dicovered the place
where updates are stored.

http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/pub/3.0/en/updates/i386/

Now I'd like to know 2 things now:

1. Who mantain the packages updated? Is the community?
2. How long does it take to release a package once the srpm is released?

And a suggestion:

Why a Errata page isn't created, so all updates are listed there? It
would be easier to find the updated packages.

regards,

Helio
