Dear FreeBSD Friends, i have FreeBSD 9.0 Stable Running the following roles for past four months. Everything is functioning smooth alright. I read that system should be upgraded frequently. i am afraid that if i upgrade something can break. i am planing to run it like that until FreeBSD 9.2 is out, perhaps two years before upgrade. i am not sure if this is a good idea. i seek your advice about the upgrade. ROLE: Postfix Mail Server With Virtual Users Support Using MySQL Database, Apache Web Server, Certificate Authority (CA). Squirrelmail, Postfix Admin, Maia MailGuard Postfix-Admin, SPF, Postgray Filter, spamassassin, Clamav. i want to know the advice from experts, what is best? is it really important to update the system to new ports available. Or once i have no issue, i should follow golden rule. don't fix if not broken. i personally want my system to update at all time and exclude critical ports. i read that sometimes serious problems can occur after Perl upgrade in FreeBSD. these are the things prevent me from upgrade. i am actually working with CentOS / Debian for past 7 years for an ISP. Just did the first setup with FreeBSD. please advice Prabhpal Singh
