I am a bit confused about updating FreeBSD. In Windows and Linux you update a lot to get the latest releases and bug fixes. I am getting the impression that in FreeBSD, you install RELEASE and just use "freebsd-update fetch update" to get patches.
One thing I notice is that Firefox is 2.0.0.2, which is old. Should I use portsnap and build world to get the latest software or should I leave it be and just get security patches.
I know, newbie question, but I've been searching for two days and still am not sure what the correct answer is.
