Safe... on Linux yes; FreeBSD, no.  Production quality on either; no  :)

Using a server (in near-production) with Apache2 in prefork on RedHat, things carried along well.  There were, however, occasionly strange problems, and although I couldn't pin them down exactly, when we went to full-production, we haven't seen these issues at all with Apache 1.3.x.  I know that's a weighted response, however, so the problems could have been due to a number of things that changed between the deployments.
