Well, I use cvsup for the machines at work and ctm (cvs) to my home, so I know both. I can ask it the other way, why use your own and the server's resources (cpu, disk and net) to figure out what you need to get, if you want to do it regularly (say update from cron) and if the server can allready know what you need and only send you that? :-) John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@mikom.csir.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
