I tend to test FreeBSD about once a year, but mostly the non-graphics part =
as I've only got AMD cards which don't have drivers on FreeBSD amd64 and OS=
 X is to some small degree tested via PS, but that's about it. There's actu=
ally still the big game stopper of clang/llvm not properly implementing fri=
end relations for templates which breaks csHash and related functionality (=
read: most of CS) on those platforms. Also for ARM there's various vfs issu=
es iirc and I guess support for ARM (and somewhat related big endian platfo=
rms) is mostly experimental imo. Maybe some sort of tier system would be a =
good idea for the support part? Like Tier 1 - regularly tested and should b=
e working, Tier 2 - related tested, but should be mostly working, Tier 3 - =
experimental, expect serious issues.

I only prefer not to document i386. If people want to play with CS on a
specific architecture of any age, they can. The personnel resources of
the CS project (more lack of) leave us to document for the average and
well used only.

As well as AMD or Nvidia. It would be good to document the state of CS
on Intel and other graphics.

XP? We have dropped XP as have MS. Well, they will support you if you
have a deep wallet.

Your system specs seems correct and close to my thinking. Lets see what
others have to say.
