I've never used Fedora, but if it uses the same up2date system with 
prior RH versions, that's what annoys me. For each single machine I 
have to give them an email address, and even that isn't good enough - I 
have to periodically check in with them and reply to emails and go to 
the RHN pages and re-login and all that jazz...

For the machines I administer, I find this procedure much more 
cumbersome than Debian's, hence my suggestion.
