This brings backs memories... I still used FreeBSD by then, and I remember that the 5.x branch really had problems and the drama that surrounded it in the community. I started using FreeBSD(4.3 or 4.4) in the Uni out of curiosity, but kept it for the massive improvement in performance and stability. Loads that brought Linux to its knees(>10) were handled easily by FreeBSD. The documentation was also superb... the only drawback was having to compile everything, never got used to it.
