X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2005 11:01:49 -0000 I have only one machine left running 5.4, but unfortunately it's a live web and database server (tight budget!) so I don't like tinkering with it too much. I was going to reinstall it with 6.0 and I just wondered if there was any reason why you shouldn't run a production server on the compat5x port for any length of time. I can't afford the downtime to remove all the ports and re-install them. Ashley
