I my opinion it is essential that those few articles about FreeBSD that still appear are linked to from the Home page of the website. It could give the impression to a passer-by (i.e. a potential new user!) that FreeBSD is still alive and kicking. Currently that specific column just seems out-of-date. Another suggestion: on the FreeBSD Foundation site some content is hidden, e.g. http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/testimonials.shtml that certainly deserves a more prominent place on the FreeBSD main site. Kind regards, Hans Ottevanger
