Hello all, I have another concept that I'm confused about, the source distribution. Some ports, like "lsof" require the existence of /usr/src. What I don't understand is which version to use to keep synchronized with the production release. When the installed was performed the release was 7.2 but after doing "freebsd-update" the release is now 7.2-p4. According to the documentation, I can track CURRENT, STABLE plus other. Which one is the recommended one for a production server. I have not build that many packages that need the sources present so now would be a good time to find out which one I should use. Thank you for your time and patience, -r
