The OpenBSD packaging system's update infrastructure has really improved within the last year. It might be worth another look. I do porting, and very frequently update to a recent snapshot, then update all ports. I haven't had problems with it for a while.
And yeah, best router/firewall OS ever.
- mstevens 16y agoHow do you find running snapshots? I always figured just from the name you could expect them to have problems.
- silentbicycle 16y agoThe snapshot computer is my main desktop (amd64), and in general, I haven't had problems. (On second thought, updating "very frequently" is probably an exaggeration - more like monthly/biweekly.) One time I noticed that my CD burner had stopped working, but I hadn't used it for several months before that anyway, and it went away on a subsequent update. Other than that, no problems.
