Yup, grub is way to go. It can multiboot almost any os out there. Personally, I prefer running everything inside vmware or virtualbox.

PF is recommend. Another option is to use natd and ipfw. It is also documented in handbook.

portmaster is much better and does not depends upon ruby and other stuff. The will will upgrade every port to laster version portmaster -Da

A stable version of BIND is included in base system. There is no need to install it via ports until and unless you want really new stuff. Try running portsnap before running make. Also see UPDATING file in /usr/ports directory and search for BIND

I wish for good health and nothing else :e

I really miss vmware server on Freebsd. Older version used to run but they dropped the support after version 4. Virtualbox is good choice. XEN will run in dom0 under FreeBSD 8.0.

You can throttle user login with pf itself. By default root login is not allowed. Only normal user can login over ssh and su - them. However, most hosting companies changes this so that root can get into it. Take a look at my previous security thread...

I've used both 3ware and Adaptec raid controller. No problem what soever. However, most of my boxes are in RAID10 or RAID1 configuration. Unfortunately ITX wasn't enough for our work load. So we end up with high end server.

Backup the system before you do this. I've successfully upgraded my Gnome desktop from 7.2 to 8RC3. I'm also assuming that you are using portsnap and portmaster to manage apps. Here is how I did it: Edit supfile and make sure tag set to RELENG 8 (this will get RC3): *default release=cvs...

BBS only need telnet client and not telnet server. OpenSSH is by default installed and there is no need to configure telnet or use of r* command.
