Also, is 5.5 the LAST of the 5's? Yes, development of the branch is effectively ended since the world has moved on to 6.x. The only reason 5.5 was released was to batch up some of the changes made since 5.4, mostly made last year. Kris pgpVmXTQGrMxg.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm only a bit surprised that things went to well with 5.5. (But then FBSD has only crashed one time in ten years, :-), and that speaks volumes. gary PS: Any big gotchas in goingfrom 5.5 - 6.1???

The three points which were non-trivial are 1. Addition of _dhcp user and group, 2. ABI differences mean that everything installed from the ports tree should be rebuilt, and 3. Portupgrade gets confused due to database format changes, do you should run `portupgrade -fR portupgrade` before portupgrading anything else.
