Pros?  Cons?
 

   


This question has been asked quite often, so you would have done well
to research the answer before asking :) 


It's slower on the workloads I've tested and is not stable on machines
with many CPUs (e.g. 12).

Kris,

Shitty remark, not wise to jump to conclusions.


Common Sense would dictate that it would be highly retarded for me to 
ask a question that I have not at least ever so slightly attempted to 
look into.
   



Since when has common sense ever been a guide to human behaviour? :-)

Sorry for being snippy, it's just that I've answered this question
about 24 times in public.

Kris
 

Not a problem, you are right though, if more people used common sense I 
am sure the world would be a better place.

No, you can just compile it yourself using ports (although the ports
collection also doesn't support 5.3 any longer, most things will still
work).  Using packages with pkg_add -r is an *alternative* to
compiling yourself using the ports system, and there's no point in
updating your ports collection if you're not going to use it.



Is there a way to update to 5.4 that doesn't involve reinstalling?  
Everything I can find about it makes it seem like a very complex 
process.  If someone can point me to some step-by-step docs, I would 
appreciate it.  (Yes, I have looked all over the freebsd site, and I 
don't see anything that is plain and simple instructions).




It's explained in detail in the handbook.

Under the title cutting edge 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html 

Note: it's geared towards -STABLE and -CURRENT users (hence the 
misleading title), just set your cvs tag to RELENG_5_4 to update to 5.4


Later,

Ron,

The common way to upgrade would be to CVSUP, however I have found Colin 
Percivals update instructions quite useful.


Here is the site for you to upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4:

http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-upgrade-5.3-to-5.4/

Try it out.

Thanks,

Russell
