<span>I just upgraded my OpenBSD&#39;s from <span class='inlinecode'>7.3</span> to <span class='inlinecode'>7.4</span> by following the unattended upgrade guide:</span><br />

<span>That&#39;s it! Took me around 5 minutes in total! No issues, only these few comands, only 5 minutes! It just works! No problems, no conflicts, no tons (actually none) config file merge conflicts.</span><br />
<br />
<span>I followed the same procedure the previous times and never encountered any difficulties with any OpenBSD upgrades.</span><br />
<br />
<span>I have seen upgrades of other Operating Systems either take a long time or break the system (which takes manual steps to repair). That&#39;s just one of many reasons why I love OpenBSD! There appear never to be any problems. It just gets its job done!</span><br />
