should we use 7 or think about going with 6.3?
I'd go with 7.x every time. It wipes the floor with 6.3 performance-wise
and it is just as stable and bug-free as you'ld expect from FreeBSD.
You've
seen it works for you: there's no conceivable reason to downgrade.
I agree with Matthew here.
We have a few production 7 boxes now, some being re-deployed completely
from 4.x, and a couple that have come from 6.x.
Although I don't have any documentation to show a performance increase,
it certainly hasn't gotten worse. (I went to 7 for testing for
particular reasons very early on).
Any issues I've run into with 7 are just as prevalent in 6, so my vote
would be to follow the 7 train. (Note: the only issues that I have
*personally* run into so far are related to the 're' driver, which is
out of context here).
IMHO, more eyes are on the 7 track, so if you have the choice to build a
new box, why 'downgrade' right off the bat (its not my intention to
knock 6.x BTW)? Eventually you will be forced to jump a major revision
which in some cases given user applications can be a bit of a headache.
Stick with what is here and now, and leave 6.x as your upgrade path for
your current 6.x boxen until you can get those boxes upgraded too.
BTW, to the OP.... I would suspect that your initial delay that causes
the 'Internet to be slow' is related to DNS somehow. Hit a webserver by
its IP and see if the problem goes away.
