freebsd friends, im a relatively new convert from debian linux and am starting to love freebsd more and more. the one thing i am in need of some advice is: what is the difference / best usage of freebsd-update and pkg to stay up to date? from my debian world i am coming from, after running apt-get update i had categories of updates grouped by “security” and “upgrades” - there was also a distribution upgrade that was available…. is running pkg update and pkg upgrade equivalent to debian’s apt-get update / install? what does freebsd-update update? is there a delineation between just security updates and upgrades? thanks for the advice to a newbie.
