Not planning on using nfsd (I think) with quota's. The main thing at this moment is Internet services as Apache (1.3), qmail, vpopmail, nntp, cvs, cvsup, etc. Hopefully I will not have to rebuild all that stuff on 6.x to make them work Than the new things is going to be jails (ezjail) which uses nullfs to preserve disk space.
