64eeb420c8 This list has been last updated in 2008 and is hardly "modern" anymore. 
In addition this list is best found from the manufacturer, or in release
notes, not in a FAQ.

e7138387cb Many of the references linked no longer go to the intended page. 
In addition almost no one uses Windows 98 or the old style Mac OS
so don't bother including this in an FAQ.

0622501d94 Remove references to FreeBSD 6.x from the FAQ: 
o Created local ENTITYs, which will make updating this chapter much
  easier next time we have major version numbers increase:
 - 10-CURRENT:
  . rel.head: 10-CURRENT
  . rel.head.relx: 10.x
  . rel.head.releng: HEAD
  . rel.head.packages: packages-9-current [1]
 - 9.x, 8.x, 7.x:
  . rel.relx, rel2.relx, rel3.relx: - 9.x, 8.x, 7.x
  . rel.stable, rel2.stable, rel3.stable: 9-, 8-, 7-STABLE
  . rel.releng, rel2.releng, rel3.releng: RELENG_9, _8, _7
  . rel.relengdate, rel2.relengdate, rel3.relengdate: branch date
     from UPDATING
  . rel.packages, rel2.packages, rel3.packages: packages-{9,8,7}-stable
  . rel3.current: local definition of "7.4"

o These entities now replace areas within this chapter where all
  versions of FreeBSD were specified (previously 6.x, 7.x, 8.x, 9-CURRENT).

o Bump copyright year.

[1] The 'packages-10-current' directory on the FTP site is empty,
and packages-9-current is still being populated.  This can be easily
switched to 'packages-10-current' later.
