Colin Percival wrote two comprehensive how-tos on keep FreeBSD updated.

The first is for minor upgrades, the second for major version changes.

Very neat thing, this freebsd-update tool, indeed. But beware, it only works for Releases and only with generic kernels, so perhaps you are in for a make && make insallkernel && make installworld routine for one last time.

This is great: ISO and UTC are neither acronyms nor initials, more like kind of false friends.

So again the question about the best programming language was put up. This time for an aspiring 13-year old.

The answer given by Ned Batchelder is concise and in my opinion a great starting point not just for children. The main point is that there is no single best choice and that the language would be a means to an end and not an academic pursuit in itself. This is quite close to the general definition of a sound choice of a programming language and every developer should ask himself this question for every job at hand!
