The rhn-applet has been improved so it is able to check for updates in
repositories (ftp or http). Redhat Network or RHN is setup a bit
differently and is what you and many longtime Redhat users are used to.
The alert ICON works for yum and I imagine apt-repositories.
The new lead person can probably fill you in on what RHN is. It is
basically a whole network structure vs. a package repository, which uses
header information generated by yum or apt tools for the server to know
what to do with rpms on the repositories.
