I have just updated my system and before the reboot I was running this version:

FreeBSD mydomain.com 8.0-RELEASE

After the reboot it is now:

FreeBSD mydomain.com 8.0-RELEASE-p2

What does the "p2" mean? Patch level 2?

When you run an update, it will "fetch" the latest updates to get to the requested version you desire.

Here is the patch for 8.0-p2
