And for marketing aspects: Couldn't we put a HTML page on the webserver, that actually shows this famous server in detail ? It would be cool, if we could show some pictures from different perspectives: one picture showing the whole rack mounted server and some more pictures, which show interesting components of the server. Perhaps a photo of the computer itself with case opened ... And then maybe a short description, what kernel configuration and such. It would be fine, if one could give people an URL, that shows nice pictures of the server instead of only telling some numbers ... The photo that has been presented in the FreeBSD News was a good start. But I'd wish we could provide some more views and of a bit better quality.
