Strikes me that setting up jails for bloody-well-every-other

Jail the webserver; seems a logical break, and keep you honest for
your partitioning. No more ~/public_html to access it I suppose, but much

5.4 seemed to actually have many issues
Hello my friends,
I've just noticed one of my beloved headless shell boxen is
FreeBSD 5.4; its a workhorse I've been neglecting far too long and I'd

Aha, that seems to be it; I had slapped that into my rc.local with

FreeBSD 5.4, BenQ DVD burner, using DVD-R media. GENERIC kernel
with ATAPICAM added.
Built an iso with mkisofs, and can burn it out with burncd to CDR
