I guess we would be the only people to run current or stable on a production machine, and everyone else is using RELEASE? I guess I should have stuck with 4.1x considering all the initial troubles with 5.x, and not go to 6 at all cause heck that can't be near ready considering the obvious ineptitude of freebsd developers, the horrible track record speaks for itself. Or should I run RedHat? ;) Just wanted to contribute to the discussion in a productive manner, and make sure people are aware of issues as well as solve our current issue, but thanks for your input nonetheless. I hope it's sunny over there today, cause it is here. Whoomp.
