Hello :-) I'm new to freeBSD, so forgive me if my question is boring :-( I just discover than my computer hosting company allow the use of freeBSD (http://www.ovh.com/fr/particulier/items/distributions/free_bsd.xml?sort=bsd&gm=pop) on they cheap (20¤/month http://www.ovh.com/fr/particulier/produits/kimsufi08.xml) systems. until now I used on my hosted computer my linux of choice, that is openSUSE, but on a cheap, that is with little power, server, openSUSE is overkill so I plan to use freBSD soon. However, as said, I don't now yet freeBSD. I have some sort of experience of openBSD, but only on old fashioned computer (SS1, SS20...) but I think there will not be major difference and I plan anyway to install freebsd on virtualbox first to test it. I'm an old linux hacker and compiling is not really a problem, even if I feel better without :-) so then, my question: what about security updates? with openSUSE I have an automatic update. For freeBSD, I didn't find anything on this archive list and the google search sent me to old doc (2003) http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/binup.html where is freeBSD in this respect? thanks jdd -- Jean-Daniel Dodin Président du CULTe www.culte.org
