I really can't say. Other people use FreeBSD just fine for their newsserver, and I did too, but I would get these random fs-related crashes. John Dyson looked at them, and said "yep, looks like some vnode locking problems", and patched up 3.0 (as far as I can tell). However, the patches never made it into 2.2.2. I was able to reproduce it on 2 different machines. I would still use 2.2.2 and get the adaptec fixes, you should be fine, and certainly plenty of people are using FreeBSD for newsserver just fine. Must've just been my combo...
