cfvers is a versioning system for configuration files.
It is similar to cvs and subversion, but different in its orientation
toward system configuration files (think /etc), dealing with all file types
and attributes.
Features:
- does not pollute the filesystem outside its dirs;
- keeps both data and metadata (owner, group, perms, atime, mtime);
- deals with all types of files (S_IFSOCK, S_IFLNK, S_IFREG, S_IFBLK,
S_IFDIR, S_IFCHR, S_IFIFO);

BSD Ports Manipuator (BPM) is a graphical ports collection manager for
FreeBSD. It has a GTK+ 2.0 interface and allows you to add, remove, or
upgrade software packages on your system without requiring you to use a
command-line. In addition, it can display details about available,
installed, and out-of-date ports, as well as allowing you to search
based on port descriptions.
BPM uses the existing ports collection structure, allowing it to build
ports from source and integrate seamlessly with other tools.
This project started out as a clone of Ports Manager.app for
DarwinPorts.

stress is not a benchmark. It is a tool used by system

characteristics, and by systems programmers to expose the
classes of bugs which only or more frequently manifest

- A command line utility for starting and stopping named jails.
- An efficient method for shutting down a large number of jails in

- A simple configuration syntax.
- SNMP monitoring facilities.
It is designed to provide more flexible functionality than FreeBSD's own
rc.d/jail script, and should provide a complete superset of features.
