? For example, Solaris 10 was the first *production* release Sun sent out 
some years back. Followed by Update 1, 2, and so on later. 
If you dont really need FreeBSD 10.0 you always can use 9.2.

> Which version of FreeBSD would you use ?

For example on our side, we need ZFS, DTrace, pkgng and some other features
of FreeBSD 10. And thats what we plan to use it for our production installations.
