We rely heavily on the stability and performance of FreeBSD in our business. We've only had the occasional stupid hang on our RELENG_5_4 systems, but I've deployed both RELENG_6 and -CURRENT in our labs now to see what kind of results I can get out of it. Although I havn't seen any major problems on our servers, all using u320 scsi and smp - I don't feel as secure about my choice of upgrading to 5.x. We still have some 4.x servers in production, and judging by how this is evolving, I think I'll rather skip the 5-branch for those machines and keep testing 6.x. The last thing we need is servers with problems to disturb our sleep at night. Overall I think we're a few of the lucky ones, as alot of people seem to have huge problems which we havn't encountered, again that is because of different architectures and such. Nick.
