Hi everbody, I'm new to FreeBSD and coming back after a long time away from UNIX like OSs in the first place. I decided to try out FreeBSD because it seems to be a better controlled product than most of the Linux stuff out there and what I'd really want FreeBSD for is servers anyway, no X or anything like that.
Here's my question. Is there a simple way to stay up to date with FreeBSD? The install was great! But the whole CVSup, rebuild thing seems a little much to do for just security updates. Is it just a huge thing the first time you do it and get smaller / faster after that or am I just completely missing something else. Could I make a refuse file and refuse everything except what I need? Am I clueless? I always used Debian's apt-get update / upgrade stuff before and it was a really simple process. I don't doubt that FreeBSD is very powerful but I like to be up to date with patches and stuff but don't want to rebuild everything every time. Thanks in advance for advising this newbie and I hope I didn't say anything offensive, overall I'm falling in love with FreeBSD but this one issue bothers me.
