[TriLUG] Problem with Cent OS up2date

[Glenn Hennessee]

I had trouble on Friday with extremely slow connections to the update 
server using up2date. I finally gave up on Friday and did the updates on 
Saturday. This was a LARGE update from 4.1 to 4.2 and I chose to do it 
in batches. I did OpenOffice first and then picked up the rest in 2 more 
batches. I had a few more updates show up yesterday and they went fast. 
Be patient, I think the server(s) are overloaded with everyone updating.
