Redhat Enterprise Linux Software Updates

We will be installing software updates that do not require system restarts, so no downtime is expected due to this. Since last month, the only software update Redhat has released that affects GOC systems and is marked Critical is a security update to the java-1.6.0-sun package. There are also a number of updates of lesser importance, which we will also install, with a few exceptions. Some of those noncritical updates are to the kernel, glibc, and related packages, which would require system restarts, so we will not be installing those at this time. The only packages we will update will be those that do not require system restarts.
