I installed 5.0 when I first tried out freeBSD this spring, and after some months of testruns I'm still very impressed and will choose freeBSD as our *nix clone standardized OS. Unfortunately everywhere I look and read the recommendation is to go with 4.8 not 5.x, and especially would I like the nvidia drivers to work, therefor do I need to downgrade my system. Is that possible? To go from 5.0 to 4.8 by using the cvsup and buildworld procedure? Are there any pitfalls? The system is mainly used for samba-filesharing and web-service provided by Apache-Tomcat.
