In general, the OS versions are managed so that anything that will
run in one version of a main branch will run in another. eg, if
it will run in 6.1, it should run in 6.2 and 6.3. But it may well
not work in 7.xx
I am not sure. I know that portsnap is the part of base package.

I know this is going to be a very dumb question, but I just can't seem
