As another poster already mentioned: upgrades are an easy and well documented process. Do your specific circumstances (e.g. problems to physically access your co-located machines) make upgrades painful? If so, you should probably solve that problem. If you can't perform routine work such as upgrades, what do you do when an emergency pops up? For two weeks now, the box freezes randomly... I've encountered such trouble as well. Several times, replacing the power supply did the trick. You may want to keep those around at the data centre. Cheers, Rogier -- If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.

I used to use two realtek network interfaces wich I suspected causing the problems. I replaced those two rl nics and everything went back to normal. System is running ok.

That's exactly one of the main reasons why I have started using OpenBSD at our Institute. Twice a year I spend ~ 2 hours (that includes reading the documentation, testing and coffee break) to upgrade 7 machines.
