I have centOS5.3 installed in the system. I have never updated it but now am planning to update. While doing "yum update", is there any possibility that the update might hamper the execution of any software/application installed on the system? Is there anything particular to note before updating the system?

I haven't had any problems in updating CentOS 5.3 to 5.4 or even 5.5 directly. Although I normally use yum upgrade instead of yum update, but the process would probably be the same for both "yum update" and "yum upgrade" in this case.
