FreeBSD 7 supports FreeBSD 6, 5, and 4 binaries just as FreeBSD 6 supports FreeBSD 5 and 4 binaries. It should run without any problems. You may need to map certain libraries, but that's all rather easy.

The GENERIC kernel on FreeBSD X includes compatibility with FreeBSD X-1 (where X can be 7, 6, or 5), with compatibility going all the way down to FreeBSD 4 binaries. This means, you can run binaries compiled for FreeBSD X-1 on systems running FreeBSD X. All you have to do to make it work is install the compatYx port (where Y is the version you need compatibility for).
For example, if you are running FreeBSD 7.0, and you need to run binaries for FreeBSD 6.x, then you would install the compat6x port. IF you need to run FreeBSD 5.x binaries on FreeBSD 7.0, install the compat5x port. And the same for FreeBSD 4.x binaries (compat4x). |

If you don't really need a CP don't use one. All the popular CPs are targets for known and developing "web garbage", avoid them if you can. There are two in the ports tree if you want to try something other than the one you are using.

As for your question, yes it will run with 4 Gigs but you won't be able to host many sites without maxing out. The box I did for my client had 12 gigs. RAM is cheap. -Tim |
