- Make this just be a list of supported systems, and point to the sun systems

  handbook on sunsolve for hardware details.
- Clarify what's "fully" supported, and what's only partially supported or
  not at all supported due to varying support for onboard devices.
- Update with new stuff that should work or has been tested.

-    <para>A word of caution: the installed base for &os;/&arch; is not
-      nearly as large as for &os;/Intel. This means that the enormous
-      variation of PCI/ISA expansion cards out there has much less
-      chance of having been tested on &arch; than on Intel. This is
-      not to imply they are doomed to fail, just that the chance of
-      running into something never tested before is much higher.
