Howdy All!
As an alternative to up2date, I am trying apt and synaptic. I followed the instructions here:
http://freshrpms.net/apt/
Here is the result of my install process
root - /home/robertmarkbram/apt
$apt-get update && apt-get install synaptic
Get:1

E: Couldn't find package synaptic
Does this mean it failed a network lookup?
Any clues would be much appreciated!
