easiest:
The balloon, will run pup {package updater}. This uses yum libraries to 
determine availability of updates, then after confirmation, downloads 
and installs them.

cli:
yum update
y

hard:
download packages, then rpm -Uvh them by hand.

auto: there is a way to have the system check on a schedule and 
autoinstall updates detected.
