Which is like WindowsUpdate. You connect to their server, it scans all your installed packages, lets you select and downloads the updated versions, and installs them for you. Pretty damn easy. I've updated my kernel twice now using it.

The cool thing about it is they register your system on the Redhat network, and whenever they find a bug/exploit that affects packages installed on your system, they send you an email to warn you that your system contains a vulnerability and how to go about patching it (using the Up2Date client).

Pretty nifty. I think the installation is just as easy in Mandrake/Redhat/Suse.
