Introduction
Yum for Centos 5
Apt-get for Debian

Introduction

Updating using Yum or Apt-get, installs the latest versions of packages on your VDS. This helps fix bugs in the packages, fixes security holes and exploits that could be used to compromise your server.

It is important to do this on every clean install as they don’t generally have the latest updates. It is also advised to do this update on regular bases, such as every couple of months, in order to keep a secure server.

Package updates come out when they have fixed bugs, fixed a security hole or generally made improvements to how the software works. This also includes updates regarding the OS too.



Yum for Centos 5

Updating the packages is quick and easy.

[root@vps ~]# yum update

N.B Your list of packages may be different to whats listed here. Dont worry its normal, just depends on what needs to be updated at that time.
