Not necessarely...
IMHO, You'd better configure your ftp/http clients of your workstation.
For excluding localhost and your proxy server to access local server 
machines.

Not so hard to install but I prefer the FreeBSD maintenance system !
The différence ?
Well, OpenBSD close everything and it's to you to open the ports you
want (fp).
I've chosen openbsd for his pf firewall ONLY.
Seems available now in freebsd.

Hummm, after that all i reconsider if i did the rigth thing ??
I upgrade from 5.3-beta7 to 5.3-RELEASE as follows :
-Changed in /stand/sysinstall.. Options: 5.3-7 to 5.3-RELEASE
-Then did simply an upgrade.
And all was downloaded and installed, but not xorg where xorg-librairies
won't install :(
A uname -a chows effectively 5.3-RELEASE .
Anybody can confirm this method of upgrading ?

I've installed kde from the packages (/stand/sysinstall).
It seems that the dependencys are not downloaded automatically;
so downloaded the necessary *.tgz packages manually 
and installed them from a directory.
It's solved :)

Thanks to all for the help.
Adding via /stand/sysinstall didn't add the dependencys.
Second: there is no debug screen found !
Downloading the package AND the dependencys with a 
pkg_add  did the trick.
