Subject: Upgrading Linux Vs. FreeBSD Date: Sun Nov 08 2020 03:39 pm
From: Chickenhead To: All

So I've got more than one system I maintain...several Ubuntu Linux an one FreeBS
D server.

Upgrading to the newest version is always interesting.  On my FreeBSD server I'v
e gone from major version to version without too many problems.  But not strictl
y.  I've had the odd package conflict that was a nightmare to resolve.

Ubuntu/debian systems are always different.  The PPAs make upgrading to a new ve
rsion spicey....but I just moved my laptop from 18.04 to 20.04  and I'm not enti
rely sure what happened.  There were package conflicts.  They somehow resolved t
hemselves.  But I'm not happy, I should really know what went wrong...right?

My last update from FreeBSD 11 to 12 was barely a fart in the wind.  Probably th
e most simple update I've ever run.

[Your blood pressure just went up.]
