What's with the desire to constantly upgrade? There probably isn't *that* much performance benefit. There will be, probably, but you'd get more of an upgrade from having a faster cpu, or hard-disk, or more RAM, or such generally. When you realise you're lagging way behind, .. that's when you need to upgrade. Mind you, software-wise ssh etc are getting better security implemented now days which *is* important upgrade-wise. Oh well, here's a uname -a of mine.. purple% uname -a OpenBSD purple.muck.net.nz 3.1 PURPLE#0 i386 I prefer OpenBSD (: Ben.
