    Hi,

    I've installed FreeBSD here, I have come from Linux so I am still
    adaptating. I have some doubts:

    - How often the ports collection get updated? Is it whenever a new
    release is out or constantly?

    - How do I do to update all the applications I have installed? I did the
    "make world" thing here but It seems it doesn't update things like
    gnome, XFree, kde and so on, or maybe I'm wrong. Something like 'apt-get
    upgrade' from Debian Linux.

    - Is it possible to configure the console while in text mode to display
    characters from other languages? I tried to configure the console font
    and language through sysinstall but It didn't worked. My home language
    is brazilian portuguese.

    - There is an annoying thing on emacs. The backspace button doesn't work
    as it usually do on other systems (erasing the last typed character).
    How do I change this?

    Best regards,
    Thiago
