The front page on the site really wants to be fixed.  A list of
primary categories as icons, text button verions for lynx, and
buttons for "search site", "about site", etc., want to be there.

The search engine is wierd; there is no way to date sort, date
restrict, or otherwise thread by "subject"/"Re: subject".  For
instance, try searching for 2.1.1 (you can't use periods, and
there are no "search hints", and AND is shown as a conjunctive,
but doesn't work.

We don't have to do www.linuxppc.org, but we do need something.
