Thanks, Vivek. Perhaps I'll ask my hosting provider for an upgrade. Is FreeBSD 5 stable now?


FreeBSD 5.3 scheduled for October 10 is supposed to be the new "stable" branch of FreeBSD. I have one production server running 5.2.1 right now and it is pretty good. I have one testing server runing 5.3-BETA5 and it has one fatal error on some reboots.


Upgrading won't be easy without a significant amount of downtime. That is, it is not a trivial in-place upgrade to jump from the 4.x line to the 5.x line.
