Hello, I have dedicated server on CentOS Linux 6.1 with webmin/virtualmin and it tell me: Package updates 145 updates to system packages are available. Use the Virtualmin Package Updates module to install them selectively. 4 updates to Virtualmin packages are available. Use the Virtualmin Package Updates module to install them selectively. Should I update all packages?

Yum update should take care of it. Of coarse it's always nice to make a snapshot/backup in case things go screwy. Which really should not unless you've gone off the standard install. (beside Webmin)
