[NBLUG/talk] Updating Fedora

[Todd Cary]

With my prior experiences with RedHat, I enjoyed the ability to click on 
the icon and have up2date do it's job.  Equally impressed, I found that 
Fedora offers the same service.  However, Mark and others have indicated 
that they manually do the update - an area in which I have no 
experience.  When I did a dump of all of the packages that up2date will 
update, it is quite extensive.

I know that the Kernel needs to be updated because of the problem with a 
buffer over run, but which of these packages HAVE to be updated?  How 
does one know?
