You should really, really upgrade to 7. Nobody is doing any serious work on 6 (beyond merging bug fixes back from 7); all the exciting work happens in 8, and kernel patches against 8 will very rarely apply cleanly to 6. > It seems that Juniper favors the even number FreeBSD's. Only because 5 was a dog. They probably stuck with 4 for a while, then switched to 6 once they had ascertained that it was significantly more stable than 5. I would be surprised if they skipped 7. > So get to know about FB8 could be ahead of them :) I very much doubt it. Juniper employs several veteran FreeBSD developers (and so does Cisco, for that matter).
