well i have a suggestion. why not make the ls command in freebsd
have a extra display to show if the file is executable or not.

like maybe just a 
(filename)+(for being able to run it) then the rest ... .. ... . .. .

(fileanme)-(can't be run) then the rest... .. .. .

 and maybe something for dirs like 
(dirname)> <-- that would mean it is a dir. the ` < '

these would help a newbie greatly like ME!!!!!!

another thing when installing it for the first time. i think there 
should be a display that says here are some of the commands you will
need to get around.

ls 
cd
etc...

these were off the top of my head i hope they make sense?

later.
