Jan, I recently ran into nfsd load issues related to quotas in 6.1-RELEASE. Turning quota option off in the kernel fixed it. So if you'll be using nfsd w/ quotas you may want to go with 6.0 as I don't believe that has the problem.

We did have issues before ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ERRATA/notices/FreeBSD-EN-06:02.net.as c was released. But 6.1 + above patch is rock solid and very fast on high-end servers. We tried running a production server on Fedora 5. I was very dissapointed on how unstable it is under heavy loads. Needless to say, we went back to 6.1. I've been reading that there are some issues with shared IRQ setups. Since this doesn't apply to us, I don't know much about it. I can't say enough good things about 6.1.
