I recommend using 6.0 for _any_ mobile user, unless it is (for the time being) 'impossible' to get it running. 6.0 have so many enhancements for mobile users, you wouldn't be that satisfied if you indstalled anything else on it In particular: wireless support. No, it doesn't support all cards that are "out in the wild" but for those who are supported (like those using the ath driver) you will have whats currently the best wireless option on FreeBSD. Also the framework for power saving (dorry, I forget the name) helps you improve battery life, even if it is still not as good as those on ... other OS.... And 6.0 has better performance than 5.4, and numerous other things.
