No PHP4, no MySQL server, and not even an Apache! That's binary packages. Where can I get these packages from? I really HATE building this stuff myself and would prefer not to. Also, does FreeBSD make a good firewall? Or should I reinstall the thing with Linux so I can use ipchains? If FreeBSD does make a good firewall, what software should I look for? thanks, -Alan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
