I use 5-STABLE as our Samba/Courier-IMAP/exim/bugzilla/CVS server in 
production environment.
One of problems I have is LanSafe III software for Linux, which worked 
fine on FreeBSD 4.X, but does not work as expected on FreeBSD 5.X. But 
it also does not work on Mandrake 10.1.
Also we have FreeBSD 5-STABLE internal router, and FreeBSD 5-STABLE 
gateway/IPSec + small hosting for some of our sites (in jail (8)).
