Hi everyone, i'm sorry asking a question surely asked multiple times but i've searched a lot and i didn't find any satisfiing aswer.
So here we are i understood that to update freebsd you could check the cvs to update your sources. I also understood that you can update ports separatly (portsnap ...). My question is when do i need to update and how?
If i want to update do i have to check the cvs, then rebuild my kernel (not a problem) and then rebuild my world (worst...)?
I've already made a custom kernel but i would like an advice on how - when update my system.
I also understood that tracking the -STABLE version was in my interrest since i use freebsd on a production server.
I also heard about -RELEASE version, is it more stable? is it the release source (for example 7.0 release sources) with security fixes?
I'm really sorry for annoying you with those *silly* questions but i've got a lot of questions and i can't find any satisfiing aswers so...
Thanks for your attention
