There are many people out there proudly still running 2.x installs. Crasy people, sure, but OpenBSD doesn't hunt them down and force them to upgrade. Some even use this oddity called source code to apply their own selection of fixes. > > E.g.: > > If I install OpenBSD 4.9 on it's release date, then when do I have to upgrade > to 5.0?? (so that there is no more patches for 4.9, so I have to install 5.0) You don't have to install anything. And if you upgrade only when you 'have' to, I recommend you track -current, which has a clear requirement that if you haven't upgraded today, you are no longer running -current. Thus you 'have' to upgrade every day. .... Ken > > thanks.
