I need more information on RPMs. I know there are many security updates every week. However, I am running out of disk space on my linux box and can't get all those RPM updates on there. Do I need all of them? How do I know what I need and what I don't?
The RPM package format is used by many distributions, and security update policies are distro specific. The only good general answer is to subscribe to the security list for your distro, and do what it says. Of course, some RPM updates are bugfixes that are not security related, and you might care about getting them too.
