Hi,

I'm about to set up a new server that should run basically
network-monitoring (MRTG, Cacti etc.). Hardware will be HP C-class
blade based on AMD Opterons.

Should I stick with FreeBS 6.x or wait for FreeBSD 7 (see
http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html - "June 2007 Start FreeBSD
7.0 Release Process).

The question basically is: Will FreeBSD7 be "current" or "stable"?

Thanks much in advance for any hint,
-ewald
