Strange... my home server runs 2.0_RC5 and it's working
without any problem, the following services:

dspam/mysql/postfix/clamav/clamsmtp/dovecot (500 emails daily more or less)
samba (WINS server and serving two shares for 3 clients)
NFS (serving pkgsrc, src and xsrc for 3 clients)
ipnat/ipf

screen, irssi and mutt.

Ok, this is a home server, but working pretty fine!
