Perhaps someone could do a workover on the www.freebsd.org and also the little 'powered by FreeBSD' logo needs a bit of updating, it's just not noticeable. Well, these are opinions, but you could get someone to do these probably for free (or for very little). This might not be advertising, but at least when someone sees a website with the logo on then they might be more inclined to click it and find out more. But then again, all this talk of advertising, I'd be worried about what sort of people you start attracting (could be more people like me and that would be a bad thing =) ) Steve.
