Re[2]: [WBEL-users] Change RHEL to WBEL

[Mickael Maddison]

Hello Johnny,

I've done as you suggested, I'm just waiting for the upgrades to complete and see if all is well on the test machine.  A question came to mind...
I "Was" using up2date, but if I understand correctly, YUM can handle all I should need for updates, so when I remove up2date there should be no need to install a WBEL version of up2date or rhn-applet, right?
