My first impression was, hmm, nothing new here, not too attractive, why would I want to come back? I think the site definately needs new (and maybe even exciting) information. Dressing it up a bit wouldn't hurt, even the text browsers can view fancier sites just fine. I think it's a good start, but with some work could be a site I would recommend to my non-*nix friends to visit.
