Does Redhat classify their patches and what is their release schedule?
I'm putting together a paper on the different patch processes for various operating systems.
I need to get two questions answered.
1. How does RedHat classify their patches?
2. What is the patch release schedule for RedHat?
For Microsoft it's easy, Microsoft releases their patches on the 2nd Tuesday of each month and rates their patches as:
- Critical
- Important
- Moderate
- Low
Does Redhat employ a similar rating? How often does Redhat release updated patches?
Thanks for the help

The problem though is that I don't have a live machine. I want to know their general practices and not their specific patches for a machine.

Redhat have two classes of patches:
1. Security
2. Bug fixes/enhancements.
Patches are released as needed, particularly with security patches.
