minor update to handbook introduction chapter

[Murray Stokely]

Thanks Ben, I've made these changes (and also added SCTP to list of
networking technologies supported).

Your second correction points out how old and crufty that section is.
I will ping a few people about adding a paragraph about FreeBSD 7.0
features, SMP, multithreading, etc..
