Updating a Binary FreeBSD

If you've installed FreeBSD via a binary, rather than from the source, it can be a bit of a pain getting the updates. Here's a site that runs a server that rebuilds all the security updates, and provides them as an update to binary systems, ala the Windows Update tool in WinNT/WinXP. I do it from the source (via cvsup), so I don't use this service, but it probably is a life-saver for some!
