Many sites have used, are still using, and plan to continue to use, 5.x in production. ftp5/cvsup3 ran 5.x until a few months ago, and I have a netnews transit server and a Web server that still run 5.5. I'm slowly moving things off 5.x for the better support and performance of 6.x, but it's been stable for me in two fairly tough production applications for quite some time. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
