For starters...

* 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.

* you need another cat. for UFS2, you only have UFS. You also don't
list HFS, HFS+, and nullfs support.

*FreeBSD supports Ext3 fs, IIRC read only.

* You have no cat. for firewire support.
