I've got a Intel-motherboard-based SMP box I'm going to be using as a fairly heavily loaded mail server. I've currently got 4-Stable on it, but for various reasons I need to blow the installation away and start over. I'm currently wavering between putting 4.x or 5.x on it. I'd like to put 5.x on it since I will have some time (month or so) to stabilize it before it really goes into production. On the other hand, I'm seeing notes in various that indicate that the SMP subsystem might not be nearly stable enough for anything even resembling production work. So I guess my question really is something along the lines of "What is the consensus on the stablility of 5.x in an SMP environment?" or "Other than the newness and lack of real world experience with 5.x is there any other compelling reasons why I shouldn't be putting 5.x on this box?" - Forrest W.
