You're not required to install all updates available with either yum or 
up2date.

You can do exactly what you describe with either of those tools.

The only one I know of. I've never had a problem navigating the updates 
in a web browser. The RPMs all have version numbers, if I see more than 
one with the same name I check the numbers and pick the newest one.
