Some people download all errata packages, burn them on CD, transfer them home
and use Yum, Apt-RPM or Synaptic to install the updates. While Yum and Apt-RPM
are command-line tools, Synaptic is a graphical user interface for Apt. There
are add-on package providers for Red Hat Linux 9, like http://fedora.us and
others which can be found easily with your favourite search engine.
