What about doing a ssh root login to the box from far away, and then running yum check-update, to see what the consequences of updating the box could do before commiting to the update first?
As far as I know, while it will have a public IP address (I don't think it will be behind a NAT, though I could be wrong), it won't have a static address.
So if I plan to log into it remotely, I'll have to have it report its current address to me on occasion.
Which probably wouldn't be a bad thing, anyway.
