Well, I've finally done it: my first task as a systems-operator! The system I'm working myself into is a FreeBSD 2.2.5 system, and my first (self-appointed) task is to get to know the system. Secondly, and that is why I write to this list, I have to update the system to the newest stable release. What I need is some pointers what I need to watch when I want to update this system. Are there any known pits I could avoid? My knowledge of FreeBSD (or any unix-like system) is currently mainly in using it, and a few courses in the theory of systems administration. Very theoretical and non-specific, and almost no practical experience... That's why I want to learn. Any tips? Thanks in advance! Alex Crouzen --- BOFH trainee... Just give me your username.
