Re: program to list updated packages

I originally installed redhat 7.1 and upgraded it with apt-get to 7.2,
and just last week I upgraded yet again to redhat 7.3 without problems.
I regularly run both "up2date -u" and "apt-get upgrade" to ensure I only
have the most up to date packages on my system.
