I asked this particular question ons freebsd-table, but I think -current might be a better place for it. If we can get our necessary services running on these boxes under 5.2.1, how stable is it likely to be? Basically, if I setup one of these boxes as a mailserver, and it will only ever be a mailserver, can I expect the 5.2.1 codebase to behave in the long term? I'm just trying to make a decision, whether to limp along without SMP under -STABLE, or chance stability but have the SMP performance. Thanks in advance, Adam
