If you only have 3 servers it's really better to update using the
CD/DVD. I update +/- 15 servers by booting from the CD and it takes me
+/- 15 minutes per server.
I'm interesting in hearing more about OpenBSD which has a strategy
regarding security that I like. I seem to remember that "new version"
are released every 6 (or 12?) months. How do you manage the update
between versions? How do you manage to apply security patches to more
than a few servers?
Kind regards,
Gael
