Rene Ladan 8fbea9546a Now that FreeBSD 9.3, 10.1, and 10.2 have are no longer supported, remove 
their links from the front and download page and the side bar.

Move these releases to the list of past releases and mark them as
"not officially supported".

Do not remove the entities for these releases as they are still used in
other parts of the documentation.

<h2>Choosing an Architecture</h2>
<p>Most users of &os; will have hardware for either the amd64,
i386, or armv6 architectures.</p>
<p>Modern PCs use the amd64 architecture, including those with
Intel&reg; branded processors. Computers with more than
3&nbsp;GB of memory should use amd64. If the computer is an
older, 32-bit only model, use i386. For embedded devices and
single-board computers (SBC) such as the Raspberry Pi, Beagle
Bone Black, Panda Board, and Zed Board, use the armv6 SD card
image which supports ARMv6 and ARMv7 processors.</p>
<p>All other users should reference the
<a href="&base;/platforms/index.html">complete list</a>
of supported &os; platforms.</p>
<a name="choose-image"></a>
<h2>Choosing an Image</h2>
<p>The &os; installer can be downloaded in a number of different
formats including CD (disc1), DVD (dvd1), and Network Install
(bootonly) sized ISO
Disc Images, as well as regular and mini USB memory stick
images. Recent versions of &os; are also offered as prebuilt
expandable Virtual Machine images, and as SD Card images for embedded
platforms.</p>
<a name="help-statistics"></a>
<h2>&os;&nbsp;Deployment Statistics</h2>
<p>While &os; does not gather deployment statistics, having
statistical information available is essential. Please consider
installing the <a
href="http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/bsdstats/">sysutils/bsdstats</a>
package, which collects hardware and software statistics,
helping developers understand how to best focus their
efforts. The information collected is available at the
<a href="http://bsdstats.org">bsdstats.org</a> website.</p>
