Hello, Iam new to Linux as well as to this list. I have taken the responsibility of 2 Suse Linux machines. I see that Suse Linux V9.1 is installed on the machine. I have not done much with Linux. I see that Suse has given some security patches for some of the SW. These machines are production machines (one is 32bit and another 64bit) I would like to know the following: 1. How I can get and install the patches(any utlities like up2date etc. on Suse) I will appreciate very much if I can get step by step procedure so that I can keep the the downtime very less. I can get a listing of the SW installed on the machine with rpm -qa command. But afterwards? If there is a kernel patch then I would like to know how I have to proceed with this. Present kernel version 64 bit: 2.6.4-52-smp #1 SMP 32 bit: 2.6.5-7.111-bigsmp #1 SMP Thanks in advance.
