Found this link on the web, for getting the java plug-in to work with FreeBSD. I have not tried it out yet but I may need this in the future as I have had problems getting the java plug-in to work in the past:

VIM takes forever to start!
Wow!! I just made several changes to my .cshrc file and later found out that for some strange reason, VIM was taking its own time to start. Apparently, VIM was trying to connect to the X server to get additional information.
After searching on Google I found that the -X options to vim would fix this delay and it did. Now vim starts up lightening fast like it used to.
It was probably enabling the DISPLAY variable in .cshrc, which triggered this slow effect.

Ruby, please stop Core Dumping...
It has been a while since I last ran cvsup on my ports collection. To my surprise I ran into a bit of a jam when I ran: cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/stable-supfile. I received a hideous error which looked something like this:
root@:/usr/ports> portupgrade -ar
[Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... - 472 packages found (-1 +0) (...)/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb:467: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [i386-freebsd4]
Garance Alistair Drosehn made a post to lucky.freebsd.ports newsgroup, which in my opinion was the best result I found after searching for solutions to this fix. This post was as follows:
Try adding the following two
lines to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf :
ENV['PKG_DBDRIVER'] = "bdb_hash"
ENV['PORTS_DBDRIVER'] = "bdb_hash"
Add them down where other environment variables are set, such as
ENV['PORTSDIR'] ||= '/usr/ports'
I must also mention that issuing:
root@:/usr/ports> pkgdb -fu
worked wonders and fixed the problem, now no more core dumps on portupgrade. I wonder what caused this problem.
root@:/usr/ports> portupgrade -ar

Two editors deleted, another blog created! :)
I should have done this first, create a separate blog for OOD instead of adding my partners to my blog. This will just save a lot of headaches in the future.
Instead I created oodwithbaliga.blogspot.com and invited my two partners, Dave and Steven. :)
