Good question. I don't know (running just softupdates here), but I wouldn't write an article on the matter, so... ;) I find it discouraging that so many of the people writing articles about technology (which often, in turn, makeup other business people's minds for them) seem to know so little about it. Don't know FreeBSD as well as you do Linux? Then don't compare the two. At least, not without doing appropriate research and knowing a little about what you're talking about before opening your mouth. Pet peeve.
