"cPanel" is kinda like Webmin for users, which allows the hosting user to
control all aspects of their hosting infrastructure, from additional
users, to mail accounts and aliases, domain pointers and redirects,
database setup and administration, etc. Personally, I don't use it
because of it's cost (something like $1500 for a single-server license
IIRC last time I looked), but I don't know of any alternatives. BTW, as
far as I remember, cPanel does run on FreeBSD, at least it did a while
ago.
In response to the 5.3 question, I'm in the same boat as Chuck, most of my
production servers are a mix of 4.{10|11} and 4-STABLE, but I've had a
production server for some medium use up since 5.2.1-RELEASE (up to
5-STABLE at the moment), and I'm about to start rolling out all my new
boxes as 5.4 when its released, and eventually turn over the 4-series
boxes to them when it comes time to rebuild them.
