>Description:

The FAQ gives the impression that Conetic and Sleepycat are the only
options for running a commercial database system under FreeBSD.

The patch below updates the FAQ to point towards the "Vendors"
section of the Web site. It also mentions the "Databases" category
in the Ports collection.

Some information about running Linux databases under emulation might
also be useful, but I don't know anything about this so I haven't
mentioned it.
