Oh my!  OK, that is BlueQuartz.   And this is the BlueOnyx list.   So 
that is why I presumed that you were talking about a BlueOnyx server 
(5106R or later).

In the case of BlueQuartz, there are no more updates for the 5100/5102R 
releases, since they were built on the old CentOS 4.   They are 
functionally obsolete.

It is not only "safe", but encouraged.   Running a BlueQuartz server is 
what is not safe.

That said, make sure you understand the process, and which version to 
use.   If you install BlueOnyx, that will overwrite anything on your 
server.  You cannot simply update a running BlueQuartz system to 
BlueOnyx.   It's a full operating system replacement.

Also, make sure that you understand the correct version to use.  5107R 
is for 32-bit systems, 5108R is for 64-bit.    5106R is an older version 
based on CentOS 5 and is only available as 32-bit.  It is now a legacy 
release. We don't recommend this for new installations.
