This is a bit more of a generic question than usual, but once I've
got my system up and running (currently it's compiling apache, I hope
it works) I'm obviously going to have to keep it patched. I know
it'll probably depend on what I'm actually updating but is there a
specific way you guys approach this? Will it be in the form of
patches that need applying or is it more just a case of getting the
latest source and re-compiling?

Cheers
