Like the "base" FreeBSD system as a whole, no ports (or the port tree itself) but just a bare OS? Even though I've been following -stable, I gather things are still being debugged .. Which leads me to the real question, how often should one update from sources? I'm sure there are many a variable in that, but if something is working fine, why upgrade unless you happen to need the latest fix for a multi-frama-snickafoo-filter or whatever? Replys can be sent direct to keep the noise level down.. Thanks.. Sam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
