I plan on making the move to 5.3 on boxes running 4.10

The thought came to me as to what was the original version of
FreeBSD did I install on those boxes.
Usually I upgrade the boxes via build/install world.
If there is way to find out, that it would be interesting to know.
If not, no big deal, as its an absent minded thought...
Thanks
I think all you can do is know what version you have now(uname -a).
Other thatn that search for the oldest file on your computer.
That gave me an idea. I looked at the date of kernel.GENERIC, and a few
other files
in /etc. They have a date of April 21 2001.
All I have to do to find out the exact version, is to boot the GENERIC
kernel.
I dont have a keyboard/monitor hooked up to it right now, but I'll check
it out,
before I destroy it when I install 5.3.
strings kernel.GENERIC | grep RELEASE
Excellent...
