If you want to stay -current with -stable (*grin*), then you need to
CVSup.  If you're happy with the current bits that you have, then stick
with them.  Note, there are known suspend/resume bugs in the code you
have, but they don't occur very often.

Yes, but bits change everyday, so the SNAPS are a particular machines
latest build.  Your machine can build it's own 'unofficial' SNAP if you
CVSup the sources. :)
