Here are a few tips for using FreeBSD. I use it for my gateway computer, desktop, main application and storage server and for most servers I setup.
Firstly here is the bash script I use to upgrade my ports skeletons via cvs.
ports.sh
Here is the bash script I use for upgrading freebsd stable. It is different to the 5.* script in that it upgrades /stand/sysinstall
build.sh. So take out that case if you are running a later OS.
These little scripts really amke upgrading and maintaining freebsd a nice easy process.
