Actually, it's probably not the RHN notifier that spme people dislike 
but rather up2date.  I'm not sure what there is to dislike about the 
notifier.  It doesn't do anything except monitor for updates.

Another user here pointed me to apt-watch and it seems to be the 
spittin' image of the RHN notifier (purpose-wise).  I just ran it and it 
worked exactly as it should.
