* FreeBSD runs on more platforms then listed on that page.
http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/

* IIRC NetBSD was a fork of FreeBSD, OpenBSD was a fork of NetBSD.

* 4.10 is the oldest non EOL'd release of FreeBSD, although FreeBSD
2.2.9 was released Apr. 01 of this year so techinally it's the oldest
non EOL'd release of FreeBSD.
