dbf9b8e880 Revert r46484, r46485, r46511, r46512: 
The claim that there were no "substantive" commits to this
  article are made without any knowledge of internals of re@.

  Several parts of the removed content is still relevant for
  8.x, which we do still support.

  Furthermore, this particular article, outdated or not, falls
  under RE territory, and these drive-by commits were not
  approved.

27632a9e34 releng: strip some old things 
There is a two year old warning that this document is partly outdated
	and that re@ is working on updating it.
	I don't see many substantive commits updating this doc, so just do a
	drive-by and remove the obviously wrong and outdated things.
	the article can use some additional work from someone more clueful about
	the current re@ process.

	- remove sysinstall references

	- sysinstall has been replaced (and so scripting it is meaningless)
	- cross building is possible
	- drop support for disk2 and on
	- remove empty sections, such as the one on cd-rom replication

73bca3ef97 Linux comparison: 
- comparing 'Linux' vs 'FreeBSD' is comparing apples and fruit: one is
	  just the kernel and the other is a specific distribution.
	- the license 'debate' is well covered elsewhere
	- it still references CVS
	- comparing the development style of '300 committers' vs 'going through
	  the maintainer' is a straw man and doesn't reflect how Linux works (or
	  how BSD works)
	- the supported platforms list is old and incorrect
	- the "Extensible Frameworks" section belongs elsewhere
	- the 'security' section is a feature list, not a comparison and is
	  missing important features

	etc.
