Does FreeBSD have something like apt-get , or yum for fetching binary updates? I know you can patch the sources easily, but having to do a make world on 300 boxen is not my idea of time well spent.
I work as a field service tech for a major ISP. There are two techs at our office including myself. We service about 30 pops in two states with each pop being no more than a 3.5 hour drive from our office. We are both on call 24/7. However each week whois on "primary" or "secondary" call. The tech on primary call gets called first. (duh) It is rare that we will ever be called at the same time, but if we have two outages at once, the secondary on call tech assumes the lesser emergency. Being on call is part of our job, and we do not get extra compensation for carrying our pagers, but the company does reward us well with a good salary, comp time, and many other great benefits.
