Yes. I typically check to see what is new first, apply the non-kernel
updates with -u, and then finally update the kernel packages with a -uf.
Then reboot (for the kernel).
Hopefully I don't need to say it but:
1. Ensure you have a good backup or a backout plan. If you don't, make
sure your resume is not on that server.
2. Test following your updates, especially if you have a lot of
backlog. If you stay on top of them, it's easier to identify a package
that caused you an issue, if there was one (hasn't happened to me yet,
but that doesn't mean it won't in the future).
