Linux Updates
In Windows, there is a way to select the updates that you need to download and install. I would like to know the equivalent of that in Linux (Centos)
Thank you

If you are talking about Centos GUI, yes, I am using the GUI, though I can open up Terminal window through the GUI.
with Microsoft Windows, some Applications do not run well or crash if you install all MS Updates that come up each month. I used to select and install just some Operating System related updates.
I thought that may be the same case in Linux too.

No, it is not an m$ product, so you can trust the updates. Usually even the so-called "unstable" linux distros are still more stable than windoze when it comes to updates.
The update tool you have in your GUI should have the option where you can unselect those updates you don't want.

where do you get a GUI tool.
I have used TEM Bigfix, It enabled to select the updates to install for windows servers. I am wondering if there is a free GUI tool that can do the same for Linux Centos servers.
