I've done a bit of graphical design work (international publications), and I have some possible ideas, my favorite is: beginning graphic: + + Did you know? L I N U X is used by hundreds of internet providers world wide... + + (where LINUX is a big snazzy looking logo) Clicking on the image will take you to the full page with some more graphics to the effect of Yet FreeBSD outperforms it in (most? all? majority?) network applications! Recently stanford university performed an independant study of FreeBSD and Linux. They found that (insert inspiring numbers and stats here). This study has prompted the FreeBSD development team to conduct further benchmarks, creating a wide array of information on using not only FreeBSD vs Linux, but also other PC unix systems such as NetBSD, BSD/OS (BSDi?), [Unixware, SCO?] [info on getting and learning more about FreeBSD] Etc. Actual wording would, of course, be correct and acurate :) -Brandon Gillespie- BTW, Sorry for the bandwidth, for those uninterested; perhaps a PR@freebsd.org list?
