1d6df4c5aa Normalize indexterms. 
Several index terms were too long and this prevented the index from
being displayed in the normal two column style in print output.

* Remove a comment encouraging someone to convert an xref to a ulink.
* Simplify run-on sentence in introduction.
* Use more descriptive DocBook tags.

  and UFS2. (1)

FreeBSD.  Mention net/zebra, and add indexterms for BGP, RIP, and

403359dd43 Remove reference to net/gated port, as it is now commercial (and in 
fact, the company has sought out FreeBSD vendors in the past looking
for royalty money).

We still need to update the Handbook and many manpages to provide
recommendations for situations in which routed is inadequate.  All I
have done is fix the broken link.

e98c63375f Commit FreeBSD Handbook chapter on using gbde in FreeBSD 5.0 or 
higher (higher recommended).  This excellent chapter was contributed
by Lucky Green.  There appears to be a formatting problem involving
obfuscating the $FreeBSD$ in the template sample that should be
resolved by someone with a bit more SGML clue than me.
