	I'm confused.
	To the original poster: are you asking how to determine when
the last update of your system sources (via cvsup etc.) happened?
Or how to determine when the last system (kernel+system utilities
upgrade happened? 
	(Information about the official dates of various releases can
be found at "http://www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html".)
