I'm no freebsd expert either, but i've had problems w/6 (freaks out at the cardbus on my laptop)that weren't in 5x and i've heard many others say similar about 6. 5x is actually supposed to have more features, 6 is supposed to be a leaner/meaner direction, which is all well and good, but from what i've seen i'll wait until fbsd 6.5 or so comes out then maybe switch to it or a distro that uses it.

Beware the Hype for Software as a Service
