I run a very small home office network and domain off of my DSL. Currently, I have a FreeBSD 5.4p8 firewall (pf) running. I am really not having any issues, but sometimes the machines gets a bit stodgy for no solid reason [load shouldn't be that high]. I have considered the jump to 6.0, but I have held back because of the .0 stigma surrounding FreeBSD releases. What do people think in this case? I have heard that 6.0 is considered much more stable than later 5.x releases; is this true [in context of my usage patterns]? How well does the new ULE scheduler (presumably no preemption) play on servers in 6.0? Thanks in advance, Tom Veldhouse
