The above is for updating core distribution of Linux, and various linux-specific packages.
To update EQEMU within Linux, that's a different story. There was a weight change fix that went in around Feburary if I recall, it's on the front page by Akkadius and if you do not follow those steps, it will cause a character wipe-like symptoms.
It is heavily recommended to have a test environment that replicates your linux box to run this to ensure a smooth transition.
Obviously, before updating eqemu, do a backup of everything. Your binaries, your source (or at least bookmark the previous version of the source), and the database.
Once everything is backed up, you update your source, and recompile. Once you have binaries, when you run the world binary, it will prompt with the database upgrades.
That's the essence of updating.
