1.6.x will be maintained even after 2.0 is out, and
I recommend using 1.6.2. It's released, stable and as bugfree
as it can be. If you don't need features from 2.0 (SMP, threads, ...),
1.6.2 is what you want. It also has a lot of stable software available,
in both binary (precompiled packages) form and pkgsrc from the 2004Q1 
branch.
