>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.
