'''Red Hat Network''' (abbreviated to '''RHN''') is a system operated by Red_Hat that makes updates, Patches, and bug fixes of packages included within Red_Hat_Linux and Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux available to the public. Users of these Operating_systems can then invoke the Up2date program to download and install these updates. It is akin to other types of automatic system maintenance tools such as Microsoft_Update for Microsoft_Windows operating systems. The system requires a subscription to allow access to updates. In Fedora_Core, it has been supplanted by Red Hat's free yum and apt repositories. ==External links== *[https://rhn.redhat.com/ Red Hat Network] {{portalpar|Free software}} {{linux-stub}} Network De:Red_Hat_Network
