87bce4edad - Throwing a bunch of random dates and numbers is largely uninteresting so just give some historical background.
- Remove attribution as the section has been changed and modified many times since then (and should be some more)
- Change from <quote> to "s where not used as an attribution.
- Simplify text surrounding snapshots.

0adca5acd8 Remove the suggestion that we export the src and ports trees to CVS
still - it's only partially true for src and no longer true for ports.

I initially reworded it to add the history here, but eventually
settled on simply removing the paragraph entirely as the extra
detail is no longer necessary, and certainly not necessary in what
is supposed to be a brief introduction to FreeBSD.

6611edb092 Remove Blue Mountain Arts, Supervalue, and JMA Wired from the list of
large websites running FreeBSD.  I don't believe any of these are
particularly large, nor is there any recent evidence that they run
FreeBSD.  It's not even clear to me that these domains belong to the
same companies as when they were added to this list in 2002.

Add Rambler, second largest web properties in Russia.

Add a new section, about devices and products built on FreeBSD.  Add
Apple, Cisco, Juniper, and NetApp to that list.
