Specifically, stick up a page that appears prior to the existing first page on the site. Something like If you've heard about FreeBSD, and want to know more then _click here_ (takes them to the current home page) If you've just installed FreeBSD, but are having problems then _click here_ (takes them to errata.txt) If you're an existing user, and want to check out the ports collection, the online documentation, and so on, then _click here_ Obviously the text needs work (and I'm definitely not advocating the use of _click here_ under any circumstances) but you see my point.
