'Nuff said? Hardly.  It doesn't fulfill the mainstream requirement for  a 
start.  And if you're going to suggest something, please at least put 
enough effort into wirting your mail to explain what it is.

For the un-initated; Ximian Red Carpet is the (gtk based only) front end 
for keeping your Ximian desktop system up to date.  It downloads and 
installs rpms for you from their ftp site/a mirrror.  It is pretty good 
but the gtk only thing gives it limitations, and it is very dependant on 
having certain xml files available so that it can determine dependancies.
