- del.icio.us is being shutdown in favor of in pinboard's paid service

PR: 221489
Reported by: ygy
- remove the keyword soup that claims that FreeBSD still supports IPX,
ATM, EISA, and related.
- remove the word 'advanced' used way too often (and untruthfully
now-a-days)
- make 'available technology' not a goal of the document, thus making it
easier to keep up to date and reasonable
- wordsmith the abstract a bit
I have not seen an IDE drive in many years on a new system.
If we want to keep this information it should be be documented
in a better place than a long list of questions that
users tend not to read.
- contributing-ports moved into contributing
- OpenBSM redirects to TrustedBSD which is the entry immediately below.
- cvsweb is no longer maintained by the FreeBSD project
- TET integration is obsolete (per the wiki). Linking to the newer
project is left to a future commi
- binary-update refers to an older version of freebsd-update. This is
now documented in the handbook.
- vinum redirects to to an ad website
- Tertiary Disk - http://now.cs.berkeley.edu/Td/ is unreachable.
- OpenJDK 6 is not frequently updated. While its still available it is
also EoL so just stop referencing it.
The article discusses a specific option for puremagic's greylisting.
- It tells users to install mysql40-server and perl5.16; neither of
which exist any more.
- The last edit was 2015, by me, to switch from `pkg_add` to `pkg`.
- It encourages users to download code from a third-party website,
without validation, via HTTP (not even HTTPS).
- The code itself has to be patched to compile
and more generally the FreeBSD project is not in the business of
teaching end users how to run an anti-spam mail server.
