I find that the port of Apt-get (aptly called apt-rpm "no pun intended") is 
much better than up2date. It is a few days behind the up2date errata list but 
still better availibility.

Oh, and if plug doesnt have a copy of 7.3 i'll bring one to the next meeting I 
attend or hand it to someone at a SLPWA meeting (the more likely thing).
