Ha! take a look at ports: /ust/ports/ if you installed them.. www.freebsd.org/ports/ You can use either ports (source-code based, you compile them locally) or packages (binary based, faster bethod but not that much configurable) If you have experience with Gentoo, ports is what they copied when they implemented emerge.

Just how much secure do you want to be? You can run apache
chrooted in its directory. That basically means, that if
apache is installed at /var/www/ , you can set it so that it
isn't aware of anything that's not under /var/www/
So, even if a security hole is found on apache, and someone does
manage to break in, they won't be able to do much to the system,
nor gain information about it, but will only be able to deal
with /var/www/* ...
If security is all that matters, you might want to have a look
at OpenBSD's approach, which runs a modified apache version,
chrooted by default.
P.S. Running apache chrooted is a great idea, and that's how my
httpd is running, but it can be a PITA if you try to
install it without understainding how it works.
good luck

tcsh, colorful prompt
Hello.. I have set up a colorful prompt for tcsh. It ends in default color so that whatever I type after it has default color. I dont really care for the color of the prompt, but I would like to see what i type (input) with a specific color. If I end the prompt with an open (say) green color, then my command is typed indeed in green but if the output has no color it's all in green (output of ps for example) In short, i would like the color to end upon \n...
