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 think: yum clean all && yum update glibc* yum clean all && yum update yum* rpm* python* yum update"
And watch out for the .rpmsave or .rpmnew files...
