I don't know what do you mean. Normally, FBSD issues new STABLE RELEASE once a year (approx). Whenever new release or new branch is available, I shall do either wget iso images, or cvsup/csup and buildworld. The time between RELEASEs, there are patches. But FBSD teams stated that those patches are not well tested comparing to R= ELEASE. So I do not update the system until new STABLE RELEASE is available again. > That's understandable.

I did not install VirtualBox like VM Ware. I only use dual boot FBSD and Wi= ndows. I think many times to install VM Ware. But I am too lazy to do it. ;-p 1. In my opinion UFS2 is much more superior than NTFS. I'm not quite sure if UFS2 can reside in NTFS very well. (in case Windows is a host OS, and FBSD is a guest OS.) 2. My friend also suggests me that host OS can share device drivers to gues= t OS. I'm not sure, anybody can confirm this? if so, we can install FBSD on an= y laptops and use shared drivers from host OS (Windows or OS-X). Normally I only use console. My life with FBSD is not so colorful (excepted syntax highlighting in vim editor). I also have KDE installed. But I don't use it as much as console. Whenever I need flash (not often). I use my other computer (I have 2 comput= ers) or reboot Windows. Cheers, Pongthep
