On Thu, Dec 01, 2005 at 07:20:15AM +0100 I heard the voice of Thierry Herbelot, and lo! it spake thus: > > between FreeBSD 5.0-RC #0: Thu Dec 12 01:40:32 CET 2002, and FreeBSD > 7.0-CURRENT #1000: Thu Dec 1 02:20:56 CET 2005, the machine (an old > SMP BP6 from Abit, with two Celerons) has been running -current. > > [...] but there has not been a full installation in three years. I'm currently on 7.0-CURRENT #0: Sat Oct 1 19:41:00 CDT 2005 on my workstation (SMP PPro), which I sit in front of and rely heavily on every day. It was first installed with -CURRENT in early 1999, when it was just freshly renamed to 4.0-CURRENT after 3 was branched. Aside from a few months on RELENG_5, it's always run -CURRENT, and it's not had a reinstall or eaten itself yet. That's either a testament to the solidity (with a little care in choosing when to build, anyway) of even the bleeding edge of FreeBSD, or a sign that maybe I should think about getting new hardware sometime 8-} -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
