RedCarpet is a great idea, it just doesn't seem to be "enough." It would be 
cool if they provided the flash and java plugins and ability to play DVD and 
MP3 (like the RedHat 8.0 apt-get system) as well as security updates in a 
very timely fashion (like 3 days after a new release). It is ultra easy to 
use, and could serve as a backup and enhancement of up2date.

Unfortunately, it currently stops short on benefits.
