The folks over at WordPress have just released a new update, 2.2.2 & 2.0.11. Since this is a security update, there is no need to update all the files, you could get by by just updating the files that have changed.

Today we have two security-related releases available for both users of our main 2.2 branch and the legacy 2.0 branch. As these releases include only security and minor bugfixes they should not cause any plugin or theme compatibility issues, so you have no good excuse not to upgrade.

I upgraded my blog using the WordPress Automatic Update plugin. This plugin will update your blog in five simple steps, including performing all backups. It even downloads the update files from WordPress.org and installs by itself. After each step, it outlines what it did and clearly displays all errors. You simply click to continue. The only problem I had using this plugin for the newest update was the fact that it failed to reactivate all of my plugins. That is a trivial issue and far easier to fix than a broken install. Try it out and let me know how it goes for you.
