	If you have the source it will be in /usr/src/sys. You should take a
look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook37.html#kernelconfig

	You might want to consider running X windows. :) Then you can have lots
and lots of programs running in their own little windows where you can
keep an eye on them. This isn't an easy thing to set up, but it's
doable. I got mine going with the help of Greg's book "The Complete
FreeBSD." If you're interested ask about it at your local bookstore.
Make sure to ask for the second edition.
