>Description:
The current wording under "High performance /and/ security" of:
"any 386 PC (or better) running FreeBSD"
should no longer be platform-specific since one can run IPFW, IPFILTER or
any other packet filter and/or firewall on an sparc64, amd64, ia64 or
even ppc (once ported, if not already ported).
I recommend changing it to read:
"any computer running FreeBSD"
to be more platform-agnostic.

<p>The FreeBSD developers are as concerned about security as they
are about performance. FreeBSD includes kernel support for
IP firewalling, as well other services, such as IP proxy
- gateways. If you put your corporate servers on the Internet, any 386
- PC (or better) running FreeBSD can act as a network firewall to
+ gateways. If you put your corporate servers on the Internet, any
+ computer running FreeBSD can act as a network firewall to
protect them from outside attack.</p>
