Hey all - I've got a system running FreeBSD 2.0R and a system running 
-current.  Both seem to be running fine.  The 2.0R machine is running a 
stock 2.0R system, I haven't patched anything.  I don't know what patches 
to apply (or even if patches exist)!

I am preparing to upgrade our main production fileserver from 
1.1.5.1 to 2.0R (I'd like to anyway, for several reasons).  This machine 
is used as a terminal server with its 16 port Boca as well as an NFS 
server, an Internet mail server, a DNS server, and a WWW server (running 
httpd).

I am concerned that one or more of the above may be buggy in 2.0 and am 
therefore reluctant to upgrade.  Will working as a SLIP terminal server 
(using proxy arp) work OK in 2.0?  How about DNS - I saw another person 
on the list having trouble with named on 2.0...?  I assume httpd will be 
fine, I'm not really worried about that.

I'd appreciate if someone could take the time to give me a warm fuzzy 
about upgrading this machine to 2.0R+patches and I'd appreciate if 
someone could tell me what patches to apply.  Or perhaps I should go to 
2.1-current?

Please advise...
