The first of the Release Candidate builds for FreeBSD 6.3 is now available. There is one more Release Candidate planned, which will be followed by the release unless a major show-stopper issue crops up during testing.

I have two servers that I intend to consistently keep on legacy prod, so any progress on 6.3 is well received. I'm looking forward to finally moving away from 5.5 (not because it's been troublesome in the least, but because there are some practical improvements in 6.x for me).

I'm not sure if I should put 7.0 on my systems as soon as it arrives, or install the next (and maybe last) release of 6.x instead, just having to install 7.1 very soon...
Someone help me! I can't decide, I need a command! :-)

I've still got two 5.x systems that run very well, so I would not have a reason to update due to missing functionality, but it usually causes problems when I attempt to install and try out new software ("bleeding edge" ones). Okay, it's not that 5.x systems will break apart when 7.0 arrives, but...
