I had logged in periodically to clear out /var/log and perform internal maintenance tasks, but not much else. Due to a remodel at my parents' house, this server needed a new home -- my home. I thought I'd write a brief note as a sort of testament to the stability and usability of FreeBSD, especially as it relates to upgrades. In December 1998, I installed FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE on this very same machine. When I brought the machine home with me, it ran FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE. A few days ago, I bumped it to 5.5-STABLE and just last night, I rebuilt it's world to 6.2-STABLE. These are all source upgrades (with the exception of a 6.2-RELEASE binary upgrade to save time) and _no_ clean installs in the interim. It even runs on the same hard drive as it did over 8 years ago. I thought I'd give a big shout out of 'thanks!' to the FreeBSD community for making this possible. I thought I'd also share a few items...
