Hello I'm new to Freebsd and I would like to know if there is
anything like
apt-get for upgrating everything in my Freebsd. If not Could you

how I can do it.
There is no 'apt' in FreeBSD.
Documentation on how to manage your installed software is located
here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
Some of my packages are from ports and some using the sysinstall
and I
install them from the cd.
I use Freebsd 7.1

One of the distinctions that freebsd makes that linux does not is
between the base system and 3rd party software. Hence you will find no
unified tool that upgrades everything like apt does for debian. The
link above explains how to deal with 3rd party software. For the
kernel and base system check out freebsd-update.
Thanks,
