I know a heap of experts will disagree, but by far the best uptimes I've achieved with FreeBSD have been with an install of some RELEASE version from CD, & leaving the thing untouched til the next RELEASE. I used CVSUP in the previous 4.2 box but it proved to be far more trouble than it was worth so I'm far from convinced that its a good thing. It should be stated however that I'm talking about relatively minimal command line systems that don't run much more than apache / sendmail / cucipop / imap & ntp. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kruppa, Peter Ulrich" <root@pukruppa.de> To: "Doug Young" <dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au> Cc: "Eric Colburn" <ecolburn@seeitfirst.com>; <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 5:44 PM Subject: Re: 4.3 FreeBSD > > On Wed, 21 Mar 2001, Doug Young wrote: > > > Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 08:26:35 +1000 > > > > Isn't 4.3 only 4 days away ??
