New Revision: 42844
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/42844

  Somewhat simplify the about page.  It is unlikely that a user new to FreeBSD wants a complete technical listing of the architectures we support.
  
  This page is still a wall of text and still contains irrelevant information, but this is a start.
