Darryl:

How dare you ask such question? I mean, if you need to ask such  
question maybe Windows XP will be a solution for you?

Just kidding, I run a similiar dell http/mail/asterisk/dns/IPv6 amd64  
7.0 pre-release under zfs and I couldn't be happier!!!

I say, go with FreeBSD-7.0 amd64 kernel.  :)
7 is solid on the boxes I have it on.

Someone mentioned an unsolicited Apache version.  I recommend Version 0.52 of Netris.

In downloaded the 6.3-release amd64 boot-only iso.  Burned a disk.
Booted brand new PowerEdge SC 1435, it looaded up the Freebsd installer.
Ran through without any problems.  Result: Brand new server running
Freebsd 6.3-release.  

Thanks to all who replied.

Hi,

it seems your question got lost in nirvana.

If stability is your main concern, you will have to stick with 6.3.

7.0 will be available very soon but it might be not as stable as 6.3
already is.

As you want to run just a webserver, I would still suggest to install
the currently available version of 7.0 and upgrade it then to the
release version when available.

The other option would be to install 6.3 now and stick with it until 7.1
becomes available.

Erich
