4 Updating Software on Oracle Linux Using ULN

After you have enabled the appropriate ULN channels, software updates are achieved using standard dnf commands on the system. For more information on using the dnf utility in Oracle Linux, see: Oracle Linux: Managing Software on Oracle Linux.

Update the system often to ensure that packages have the latest security patches and bug fixes. Consider using automatic updates so that software is correctly maintained on the system.

Important:

After performing a system update where many packages are updated, we recommend that you reboot the system. System functionality might become unstable if core packages are updated and the system isn't restarted to load the most recent updates.
