FreeBSD 6.1 is not unsupported - far from it. When 6.1 was released, it was designated as an "Extended support" branch, and is currently scheduled to be supported (from a security point of view) after support for 6.2 is dropped. http://www.freebsd.org/security/ If you're building network applications, it makes perfect sense to go for 6.1, as that's part of the reason behind the "extended support" branches.
