It makes more sense to track -security, -stable and -cvs and only upgrade when: a) you _really_ need some feature that's been introduced b) you _really_ need some bugfix that's been applied c) security issues. Of course rabid BSD fanatics such as myself tend to upgrade without provocation, however points a,b and c are my methodology when I have my admin/consulting hat on. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
