...expect criticism if you > suggest replacing something and can't seem to do better. I am the original poster, and that's not what I said. I'm quite disgusted at how this thread has ended up. I'm sorry for ever having the idea. I never said the existing freebsd site was bad. In fact, I made sure I said it clearly,and often, that it's great, it serves it's purpose excellently, and I do not wish to replace it. I did, however, say it's 'A HARD SELL' to non-technical, upper-management people, who are used to flashy, whizz-bang sites. An Alternative is what I had in mind, NOT A REPLACEMENT!!! An alternative site tailored for those who need it, and specially set up so you could point people who'd never heard of FreeBSD to it,with catchy graphics(not overdone), and attractive layouts, so it feels like every other high-end offering site out there. I had a go. I wish I hadn't. Maybe FreeBSD will stay the way it is, forever. Thread Over. N.
