Jim Mock 805e5efd19 Rewrite the first paragraph of the site to reflect reality. We don't just 
support ``PC-compatible'' computers anymore.

While I'm here, comment out the ``Sponsored by Walnut Creek CDROM'' logo
-- Walnut Creek CDROM is now BSDi.  Also shrink down width of the Daemon
News and Powered by FreeBSD logos just a tiny bit so the site fits into
a browser window width of 585 without the nasty scrollbar on the bottom.

If anyone has any objections to the last bit of this commit, feel free to
back it out.

<h2><font color="#990000">What is FreeBSD?</font></h2>
<p>FreeBSD is an advanced BSD UNIX operating system for the
Intel compatible (x86), DEC Alpha, and PC-98 architectures.
It is developed and maintained by <a
href="&base;/handbook/staff.html">a large team of
individuals</a>.</p>
<h2><font color="#990000">Cutting edge features</font></h2>
<p>FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security and
compatibility <a href="&base;/features.html">features</a> today
which are still missing in other operating systems, even some of
the best commercial ones.</p>
<h2><font color="#990000">Powerful Internet solutions</font></h2>
<p>FreeBSD makes an ideal <a href="&base;/internet.html">Internet
or Intranet</a> server. It provides robust network services,
even under the heaviest of loads, and uses memory efficiently to
maintain good response times for hundreds, or even thousands, of
simultaneous user processes. Visit our <a
href="gallery/gallery.html">gallery</a> for examples of
FreeBSD powered applications and services.</p>
<h2><font color="#990000">Run a huge variety of
applications</font></h2>
<p>The quality of FreeBSD combined with today's low-cost,
high-speed PC hardware makes FreeBSD a very economical
alternative to commercial UNIX workstations. It is well-suited
for a great number of both desktop and server <a
href="&base;/applications.html">applications</a>.</p>
<h2><font color="#990000">Easy to install</font></h2>
<p>FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media including
CD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, an MS-DOS partition, or if
you have a network connection, you can install it
<i>directly</i> over anonymous FTP or NFS. All you need is a pair
of blank, 1.44MB floppies and <a
href="&base;/handbook/install.html">these directions</a>.</p>
<h2><font color="#990000">FreeBSD is <i>free</i></font></h2>
<a href="copyright/daemon.html"><img src="gifs/dae_up2.gif" alt=""
height="81" width="72" align="right" border="0"></a>
<p>While you might expect an operating system with these features
to sell for a high price, FreeBSD is available free of charge
and comes with full source code. If you would like to try it
out, <a href="&base;/availability.html">more information is
available</a>.</p>
