The old text regarding PicoBSD was correct, this new one is not.
PicoBSD is not based on FreeBSD 3.X but on the source of the system used
to build it (/usr/src/release/picobsd). The provided link is outdated
(and will never be updated), a better solution would be to point on
/usr/src/release/picobsd or nothing.
+ <li><p><a href="../projects/nanobsd/">
+ NanoBSD</a> is another project to produce a reduced versions
+ of FreeBSD to put it on a Compact Flash card or other mass
+ storage.</p></li>
+
It would be interesting to mention that NanoBSD is supported by the
FreeBSD Project and is part of the base tree.
+ <li><p><a href="http://www.tinybsd.org/tinybsd">;
+ TinyBSD</a> is a set of tools made up of shell scripts
