Well, actually, you don't NEED to update. It's just that BSD developers
believe in efficiency and bug/security fixes. That's why CVSup/make
world and building the kernel is so prominently talked about. Linux docs
just stay away from the subject, so it is more of a black art for them.
It really is a pretty basic set of procedures, at least, once you're on
the 'Net.
We also have a binary package system, it's part of /stand/sysinstall or
available from the command line (pkg_add).
