I would appreciate it if y'all could lend a hand and tell me how to pick a release to install? I bought the FBSDi Powerpack. It comes with 4.0 and 5.0-current. I also have 3.5. I want stability but I also want to have current stuff that will run current software. Do I take the latest, cutting edge 5.0? Do I take the 4.0? 3.5? run back to redhat? Help?!!!
