Download the version Software Update offers (I forget the order of next 2) enter my admin password click Restart most of the time I walk away for a few minutes if I have anything else to do. Start working once my Mac has restarted. YMMV, but I have yet to have any issue installing an update except for a known issue with beige G3s going to 10.2.8. You frequently had to go to 10.2.6 first, then update to 10.2.8. I do run MacJanitor every month or two when I think about it.
