You should use 5.4 or 6.0, or, preferably, wait for about a week and use 5.5 or 6.1. I would recommend 6.X; 5.X is at this point essentially a 'legacy branch' (5.5 is the last of its series, and intended only as an upgrade path from 5.4.) There is a lot of documentation on www.freebsd.org that you should start with; after that, if you still have questions, the freebsd-questions mailing list is probably your best bet. Good luck, you'll find there is a lot to learn. mcl
