I have a machine where several of my installed applications are
getting way behind. It is not a mission critical server, but I need
it to be stable (I have all fairly old well supported hardware,
nothing special).
Since updating and rebuilding all the ports is pretty much mandatory
for the upgrade to 7.x and I plan to take that path soon, would most
people consider 7.1RC2 stable enough for a move now? The machine is
a home server that provides several services on my network, but is
rarely under any load.
I know this is rather vague question, so I will be happy with any
vague answers; just positive or negative experiences with well
supported hardware (old Dell 8250 P4 3.0GHz 1.5GB 1066 RAMBUS).
Thanks in advance,

Tom,
Based on my experimentation, I'd say 7.1 rc2 is stable enough for
your hardware.
More bleeding edge hardware appears to be a problem with the rc
version.
Cheers,
