So I have installed Ubuntu Server and Webmin, I just want to know should I update all the packages through the Webmin GUI from here: http://puu.sh/hRcXi/f16c69e784.png

I just want to know if this is the right place to keep my server up to date as I am new to Linux?
Because I have 90 packages to up date. Will this have any other effect other than update packages?

Thanks.

the webmin interface is just a front end for what is going on behind the scenes. You can safely use webmin if you felt inclined. I would just use ssh:

ssh user@ipaddress
***password**
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

generally for long term service the updates only include bug fixes and security related updates. Nothing should break at all.
