SuSE has an online update utility (through YAST) that will check for updates to any program you have installed and download and include them. It does dependency checking, so if something major has changed you get everything needed to make the system work. I've used it regularly with no problems. OK, that isn't *quite* true. I didn't use it at first, then there was too large a list to do all at once so I had to manually select those I wanted from the list it provided and do the updates in three pieces. Other than that it is quite painless and hasn't ever caused me any problems (nothing broke). Works for both core and applications (if SuSE updates the package it gets an update for the online update).
