This is a production Dell PowerEdge 4600 w/dual 2GHz Xeons, one 18GB RAID1 array and one 205GB RAID5 array running:
Samba
NFS
OpenLDAP
CUPS
Qmail
Binc IMAP
Apache+mod_php
MySQL
Veritas Backup Exec client for Linux using FreeBSD's Linux emulation
It's the primary domain controller, file, print, email and directory server in addition to running a handful of Web-based intranet apps for a small LAN of about 50 workstations but we hit it hard during the day.
FreeBSD 5.3 doesn't have everything, but saying it is not a solid release is a lie. As stable as 4.10? Maybe not, but it is still quite capable of dealing with numerous common tasks with very little administrative overhead. I haven't laid a finger on this machine for months beyond requests for the services it was built to provide. It just works, and I praise all of the hard work that went into delivering this release!
