I would upgrade to 5.5 first.
Then it's up to you, but waiting for 6.3 is probably not a bad idea,
before going further up the hill to 6.x.

I'm running now 4.11 and I'm quite happy.
However, I did get my hands on new box:
IBM x230 with 2X1gig intel 6x.X.SCSI.X.33.6 and 3 gig of ram.
My old server is basicaly a web server with cgi and php, hosting my
own web sites.
I would like to upgrade the whole thing.
Which way to go?
5.5?
6.1
or just stick with the 4.11
thanks

You mean 6.2, right? It is the next release, 6.3 is much farther. I
don't exactly see the situation, since you mentioned the new box and
used the word upgrade. Does that mean that you install FreeBSD from
scratch to the new box or keep the existing installation and just
upgrade it? If you install from scratch, I'd suggest 6.1. There's no
good reason why using the older 5.5. I'd only try it if 6.1 fails to
work in any way. In the other case, if you want to do a source upgrade
on the existing installation, you must go to 5.5 first, you can't
directly upgrade to 6.X from 4.11. After you are at 5.5, you can go to
6.1, it's up to you. And one more thing: if you can install from
scratch, that's better, since 4.11 used the older UFS file system, while
recent 5.X and 6.X installers create UFS2 at default, which is faster
and more reliable.
P.S.: Please don't top-post. On these lists the preferred way is to
write replies under the original message.
