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.

Thank you to alfred for writing this article, as I am sure it has

70c38224bf Point out that _enable is not optional, and therefore should use the : 
in parameter expansion.

The future is now. :) All *.sh.in rc.d scripts have been copied to *.in,
so no need to mention that it might happen someday.

0fbe37009d - Move the note about mirrors above the table with links so there is a 
better chance that people will see it and use a mirror.
- Many people will also download from HTTP for ftp.freebsd.org
  content, so note that in the mirror text.
- amd64 is now quite common for all new systems, so also point people
  at that.
