I do daily updates via yumex.  Long ago I learned that the included 
Update Manager was very good at finding updates but would always insist 
that I wasn't on-line when it came to doing the update.  I'd never heard 
of needs-restarting before, so Thanx!  BTW, having run it today, I 
gather that no output means that you're OK?
