Glad to know I'm ok.
I copied the first quote from an earlier thread, so as not to hijack the thread.
I wanted to know if there is a significant difference between up2date and yum, and would I be missing stuff by staying with up2date.

You're probably right. I thought he was using the base directory for his updates because he said
I have been using up2date with http://mirror.datapipe.net/fedoralegacy/redhat/9/os/i386
But I'll bet he really is using the updates directory, in which case he's ok. This thread started because someone asking about where to get an updated version of samba was apparently not doing updates at all, and had old versions of glibc and kernel.

That's because it's the "base" directory of Red Hat Linux 9. The "updates" directory was included near the bottom of his mail, here:
