Can someone explain this thing a little better to me? I usually use cvsup, but there are a variety of ways to keep you system in sync. In any case, there are two parts to your system, the sources and the ports. I never bother with keeping the sources up to date. 4.3 will be here soon enough and I'm patient. I do keep the ports tree up to date though. If you do decide to update your sources and do all that "build world" stuff, remember that the Handbook says that you *MUST* subscribe to freebsd-current and/or freebsd-stable.
