cbfb2961ae Another update to high profile FreeBSD web sites list :

   according to Alexa, and running FreeBSD for its CDN at least
   according to netcraft and an employee confirmation.

2. Remove sophos.com, 22,304 most trafficed web property in the world
   according to Alexa.

6611edb092 Remove Blue Mountain Arts, Supervalue, and JMA Wired from the list of
large websites running FreeBSD.  I don't believe any of these are
particularly large, nor is there any recent evidence that they run
FreeBSD.  It's not even clear to me that these domains belong to the
same companies as when they were added to this list in 2002.

Add Rambler, second largest web properties in Russia.

Add a new section, about devices and products built on FreeBSD.  Add
Apple, Cisco, Juniper, and NetApp to that list.

5dbb56a6a8 Add Yandex.ru to the list of high profile sites using FreeBSD. This
is the second highest traffic site running FreeBSD I am aware of,
after the combined Yahoo! properties.

cb789d8817 A few minor changes I thought of, while sketching out some other
changes:

Reword a comment about money (to make it look less like we're joking
about actually wanting funding).

Mention IPsec and IPv6 among the networking features.

Mention routing as an application of FreeBSD.

d14f778ca6 Reorganize list of networking technologies included in FreeBSD to add
SCTP and reorder the others such that we don't lead the list with
super cutting-edge SLIP.

Also fix a grammar nit.

84f8ee0a15 Use relative URLs when URL_RELPREFIX is defined and URLS_ABSOLUTE
is not defined.

- URL_RELPREFIX must always point the top page's URL
  (http://www.FreeBSD.org) in relative form, defined in Makefile.

- &url.base; can be used in doc/<langcode>/*.  It will be
  replaced with the real URL which points the top page.

For translators: Please make sure to define URL_RELPREFIX to
point the top page.  The localized docs have different directory
hierarchy in its URL from the English version.

c19cae311e * X Inside changed it's name to Xi Graphics 6 years ago. Update the
text and add a link to the website.

* Add information about the 5.0 and 5.1 releases of FreeBSD in the
  History section.  Include some information from the early adopter
  guide and the release announcements to set the right expectation for
  these releases versus the 4.X releases.  Note that when 5.X is
  declared STABLE, work will progress on 6.0-CURRENT.
