I do daily updates of my installed ports and usually do at least a test install of the first -BETA of every new version (unless it fundamentally breaks something I even switch over to it for my desktop, but wait for -RELEASE before doing it on production servers). Now that being said as I said in the message that you are replying to (and so kindly took out of context) due to my application for production servers the worst possible thing that an OS can do is something that is potentially harmful and FreeBSD is one the best behaved in this regard where is linsucks is by far the worst offender in this area. > > -- > Ottavio Caruso > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to " > freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Aryeh M.
