91844997e3 Prefer linking to the handbook instead of maintaining instructions in 
two different places. In addition the linked instructions are out of
dated.

Don't give bad advice of downloading a single port at a time. This
rarely works and is unsupported.

ebd1077a36 Change the script to generate the list of personal homepages away from 
using "ypcat passwd" and towards "getent passwd".  With work taking place
on the FreeBSD cluster, the former will eventually start failing.

While here, increase the lowest UID we care about from 100 to 500.
In reality, daemons may get any user ID below 1000, but the FreeBSD
cluster has some longstanding users with IDs in the 500s.  At the
very least, this change is no less wrong than the existing code.
