The FreeBSD Security Team will support FreeBSD 5.x until at least the end of September 2007. Support from other teams and the ports tree may end sooner, but since there aren't very large differences between 5.x and 6.x I doubt there will be many problems. > I'm just about to deploy a new server, and was > *going* to go with 5.x, but would I be better just skipping 5.x > altogether?

If I were planning on installing a new server next month, I'd install FreeBSD 6.0-BETA-whatever-number-we're-up-to-by-then.
