That's a question that only you can answer. Will there ever be a time when The FreeBSD Project offically recommends 5.x for production use? Almost certainly yes - just not yet. Each sysadmin has to make his own decision about when he wants to upgrade. Some might have no problems with 5.x as it stands and want to upgrade immediately to make use of new functionality - other may want to wait longer. This isn't a one-size-fits-all question. Andrew
