Well, IMHO all these and the other suggestions look nice enough but they
have a problem:
some of them seem to suggest that FreeBSD is the only BSD outta there...
the last
(ITSUNIX.COM) goes even further. I think we should stick to something that
has either FreeBSD somewhere in the name (for those who do a search on it
directly) or some neutral thing... what I mean is that we should not be
taking up the remaining good domain names because other projects will also
need
one...just because others do it is not a reason to do it yourself.

So I suggest "www.FreeBSDnow.org" (not .com because although browsers
append that automatically I think that this is *not* a commercial venture
and it should show...)

Was just wondering though:-)

Yes, that's a problem as well...
