Hmm, I find them awkward for a different reason: 1, 2, and 4 don't start with a
verb, which is what makes this awkard.
Nevertheless, after re-reading the page, I read #3 more as the reader can use
FreeBSD to run a huge variety of applications, and for the implied you, the
verb is correct. If there was someway to restate #3 so as not to use a verb, I
think I would prefer that, but I can't think of a clean way of doing that atm.
Well, one way might be to be explicit and say "FreeBSD has ...", "FreeBSD can
implement...", "FreeBSD can...", "FreeBSD is...".

State-Changed-Why:
Since there doesn't seem to be an agreement if the front page is
`wrong' or should be changed to something better, I'll leave this
suspended. If anyone has a better idea, that we can all agree with,
you're welcome to help with this.

I am currently taking a quick look at this, maybe I could come up with
something that EVERYONE can agree on to make this a bit more
``friendly'' for users ;)
