I would appreciate it if you could get back to me =) 

Anything that's not available on the CD is available through download (via
FTP packages, or ports if no package has yet been compiled)

Please read the Early Adopter's Guide before installing 5.0.  If you're not
familiar with FreeBSD, or if you're building a production server you DO NOT
want to use 5.0, use 4.7 instead.

If you have a cable connection (something I suspect as you're going to
run a web server) every tool needed is in the FreeBSD system itself.

Just install FreeBSD, then...

# cd /usr/ports/www/your favourite apache distribution
# make
# make install

This retrieves the sources and dependencies, compiles it and installs
the web server.

Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html for even more
easily installed applications/servers.

If you on the other hand do not have a cable connection I'm not sure
of what's on those CD's. :-)

Best regards,
Paul
