I don't like it aesthetically, it's now looking like many other sites. I think, links should be clearly recognisable as such, without putting the mouse over them. I didn't recognice "Get FreeBSD Now" as link, at the first glance, I considered it a heading. But "LATEST RELEASES", "LATEST NEWS",... look too similar to the links. And I don't think links should look like normal text, as soon as the pointer is over them, sometimes it's interessting/relevant which part of the text is part of the link, so this information should be available without moving the mouse. I'm missing the 'shortcuts' "Documentation/Manual pages" and "Bug Reports/Search". Especially the PR search seems to need too many clicks: "Support"/"Bug Reports"/"Search problem reports". Oh, and until now, I missed the "ERRATA NOTICES" completely. http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/index.html After noticing that "FreeBSD Copyright and Legal Information" is no link, this page looks incomplete with only headlines. You learn that the headlines are in fact links by putting your mouse on them (or sth. similar). http://www.freebsd.org/mailto.html Here the same type of headline is a headline not a link. But wait, there is no information about "Public Relations & Corporate Liaison, Security Officer, Postmaster, Webmaster etc.". Strange. Ah, here the headline is not just a headline, but a link. That's enough for now. Nicolas
