FreeBSD 5.4 or 6 for DB server with 9500S-4 ?

Thanks Scott, I'll be interested in seeing it.  As far as FUD, like I said
before, I'll stick to my guns about not putting the absolute newest OS (or
anything else) into production use the second it is released.  I know orgs like
FreeBSD do a huge amount of testing and I'm constantly impressed by FreeBSD, but
I still am very hesitant to rush right into something new.  If you want to call
that fear, okay.  I personally call it caution :)
