We have some dual Xeons and a dual P3/866, running FreeBSD 4.8 and also
5.2-RELEASE with no stability problems. These are mainly webservers
running Apache 1 and either MySQL or PostgreSQL.

We have seen some panics and lockups on earlier versions on 4.x where
ping would respond but no userspace process would run, but that does not
seem to happen much anymore today. (knock on wood :))
