Hello, We're planning some new mail servers, and until now I've been assuming that they would run under FreeBSD 4.X. But it occurred to me this morning that the 4.X line is going to go away relatively soon, and that perhaps I'd be better off going with 5.X for these new boxen, as it would probably simplify the upgrade (keeping up with releases and bug fixes) process. So I'm wondering -- do the experts here judge 5.X as ready for use in a production environment, or would that be asking for trouble? Any thoughts appreciated, John -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | John Fox <readbsd@mind.net> | System Administrator | InfoStructure | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Gideon: I thought you said don't hold a grudge. | | Galen: I don't.
