[Cialug] RedHat's site

[Jerry Weida]

FreeBSD uses a similar mirror system.  The great thing about FreeBSD
is that they you don't have to worry about if your version is old. 
You can upgrade the any "current" version just by using cvsup.  it
will upgrade your system to whatever version you set it to.
