In all fairness RH8 Yum is not ready for prime time. I upgraded to RH9 and ran apt-get and it works very nicely....I can wholeheartedly recommend it to you. I cannot speak for or against yum for RH9 as I have not worked with it but apt works well. I will tell you that apt will not apply kernel patches unles you specifically tell it to do so.
