Any day now we'll be pushing 1.6.0pre4 out to all of our Linux clients. 
Some of them have been running various versions of 1.5 for many many 
months now (web servers and the like). My testing shows 1.6 is noticeably 
faster than 1.4, disk cache and memcache. Most of our servers are still 
1.4.x.

As far as my site is concerned, we're considering the 1.6.0pre4 client 
stable on Linux.
