Sure, lots of reasons. For example if you were running a business (or someone else's business) you would not bring 4.0 up first on your production servers. You'd bring it up on a test system or maybe your personal workstation, where you have the luxury of fiddling with it and shaking it down until you feel ready to put it on the production machine(s). In fact you might never put it on a production server if what's already installed there is doing the job you need it to do and none of the new features/bug fixes are compelling enough to go through the pain of upgrading. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
