  1. How stable? by scrotch · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Please forgive me if this isn't the right place for this question... How stable is 5.0? I'm planning on installing and using FreeBSD for the first time very soon (on a Walmart Microtel). Is 5.0 stable enough for me to use for NAT at work? Not as a toy or dev machine, but as a relied-upon part of the network. Or should I stick with 4.8? thx

      Stay with 4.8 until at least 5.2 (or 5.3). 4.8 is running very well for us as firewall, bug tracking, cvs server, etc.

    Do you suppose that could become a functional implementation of the "Evil Bit"?
