I just need to have good luck this time. I can never seem to get freebsd to work properly.
How so? If you have had issues before, I recommend following the handbook on your next install; it some of the best open source documentation I've ever seen:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
And on the subject of 6.1, What are the dramatic changes?
Certainly not as much from 5.5 -> 6.0, but still worthwhile. Full list here, scroll to the bottom for ones in 'testing' that have been addressed:

Question from someone who hasn't done any FreeBSD major updates...
If I install FreeBSD 6.1-rc1 today, can I seemlessly upgrade to 6.1-stable when it is released? I would imagine so, but I just wanted to make sure... some Linux distros don't support anything but a fresh install of stable releases.
(This will be on a home 'server' so there isn't really anything mission critical about it - just laziness)

I have been inspired to install freebsd again. I will install the current stable (6.0), I just need to have good luck this time. I can never seem to get freebsd to work properly. But I have faith this time. sounds like a nice project.
And on the subject of 6.1, What are the dramatic changes?
