You don't want to use up2date --- use update agent. With update agent
you can pick and choose what you want installed, or upgraded. 

  The last time I ran up2date it upgraded everything, even stuff I did
not want or need.

  They may have changed this by now, I don't know, but Ximian Red Carpet
Updater works well too.
