As more or less a consumer at roughly the level you are likely to
be, I've had little problem with 4.0.  Seems to be stable.  We've
been running it here for some weeks a DS5000 server and a number of
workstations.

The remaining patches to come (since you are one of the early
release sites due to needing support on the PX option) 
are generally SMP related, and as you are on a DS5000, this is a pretty moot 
point.

As I didn't do the installation (other than a normal diskless remote install),
I won't comment on installation gotchas.
