I was thinking that maybe the best way would be to update one test machine, run that configuration for a week (and do your best to beat the snot out of it ;-), and if it works for you then push it out into production. You wouldn't be quite as up-to-date (your production machines would always be at least a week behind), but you should be much more certain that you won't run into any transient problems that keep the production machines from running. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
