I personally don't find it very convienient either and as I get less and less time for these things I am now tempted after all these years with FreeBSD to go to a Linux dist just for that, I will miss ports tho if I do. But I have been looking at methods such as a single patch machine and a system wide rsync with sshkeys, but all my machines are out of version sync. Rackspace are a kind of a bad deal anyway. Just go to rackshack and pretend the new linux machine is FreeBSD :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kenneth P.
