Do not know about Linux, but FreeBSD definetly gives you both
options. You can constantly upgrade to -current (on a weekly,
daily, or hourly basis -- easy with cvs and an Internet connection),
you can just use the "official" snapshots, or (for conservatives)
-- only the official RELEASES.

of uptime -- since it's been turned on)
