Hello all,

I want to run a (FreeBSD 7) server facing the internet and running Apache and
wondered if its safe out of the box .. so to speak ?

Do i have to do a degree in configuration to allow it to face the wild west
(internet) ?

I also want to use it for storage of media and serving of media .. using windows
and freebsd clients .. is it possible .. again .. out of the box ?

thanks for your time.
