I slight bogon: Under the supported chipsets, it lists
HP i2000. The BigSur is not a chipset. The BigSur uses
the 460GX chipset.

Also: We generally abbreviate Uniprocessor as UP, not UNP.

The stability concern may need to be revisited. I committed
a couple of fixes. Kris is testing it by having package builds
spawned on the machine in question. More on this later...

I would also suggest to remove headings for which we don't have
a body. In the final version of course. This removes 3.3-3.7,
3.9-3.10 and 3.12-3.14. I don't think we don't support ISDN
devices or FDDI or Firewire, but we simply don't know. Better
to leave things unsaid...

Other than that: excellent work! I especially like the CPU links.
Nice gesture...
