 Hello,
 
 (This is aimed more at -doc than the submitter.)
 
 The FAQ covers older versions of FreeBSD... should the website?  If
 so, we should add version-specific info here.
 
 If not, this looks good to me.
 
 (to the submitter)
 
 Good catch, thanks!

 FWIW, I'd say "yes, but not a major version that's a year or better out
 of development".

 Does anybody have any objections to this patch (or something like it), or
 does somebody want to be daring and commit it?

State-Changed-Why:  
Instead of removing the entry, I added the fact PAO is for 2.2.X and 3.X 
laptop users, and that FreeBSD 4.X and higher provide laptop support.
