You're welcome.

Also, thank you (and John B., and anyone/everyone else who has helped
you) for creating such a cool update server. Current has been a
tremendous help to me.

I've done my best to stress the channel creation stuff and I can't make
it break now. :) (My server currently has 6.2/7.0 on alpha/i386, 7.1
through 8.0 on i386. I still need to create channels for 7.1 and 7.2 on
Alpha.)

RH 7.1 and 7.3 clients are working fine. I just added an 8.0 client and
it's working too. I'll try a 6.2 client next week. (If I have time this
weekend, I might try setting up 6.2/7.0/7.2 test clients. I might not be
able to test the Alpha channels for a few weeks yet.)

It's still having the weird zebra/gated problem with 7.3/2.8 clients.
(Take a RH 7.3 box, run up2date 2.8 on it, install either the zebra or
gated package (or both?), and try "up2date -ui" a few times in a row.) I
guess I should see how Red Hat's own servers handle this, when I get a
chance.
