It's mostly BSDL, not GPL, but: # cd /usr/src # make buildworld buildkernel (lather, rinse, repeat) works pretty well for burning in a new system. General consensus is if your system can do that reliably, then there's not much wrong with it. As for working out what's broken when that doesn't work: that's half the fun.
