>Description:
	The FreeBSD FAQ is getting old in the sense of description of supported
	architectures. Because support for Alpha is officially removed in FreeBSD
	7.X and many new platforms are introduced since the last update, I think
	the parts referring to them should be updated.
	
	I created a patch to formulate this.
