    I really believe the choose would depend on your requirements and your
    experience. If you are new to open source Unix-like environment then you
    should not use either in version in a production environment unless you can
    afford the cost associated with learning a new system. Do not under estimate
    that cost. In a production environment I would recommend using a system you
    are familiar with administering. I hope I do not get too many people mad at
    me for say this.

    If you are seating up a file sharing server that works in a windows
    environment you may want to use 5.3. This version adds support for ACL, NSS
    (nss_ldap) , and a bunch of other stuff that I have not be able to explore
    yet.
