Really. The whole OpenBSD upgrading procedure takes me no more than 20min. And nowadays the package upgrade is automatic too. Upgrading a box running on a CF takes longer time due to slow disk access. If uptime is essential you can do most of the upgrade when the system is running. But seriously, it's important to keep priorities strait, taking down the internet connection for a while and sending the kids out to jump on the trampoline is a good thing. And facebook is not a mission critical application :) Cheers, /Joakim _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
