Moving to the new website redesign

I'd like to suggest couple of things for the new design:

- Instead of "Get FreeBSD" item in the top horizontal menu how about 
"Download"? People are used to seeing that hot-phrase and are visually 
searching for it more often than not. The big "Get FreeBSD Now" link on 
the front-page is perfect as it is :)

- In the "Getting FreeBSD page" all the links lead to main ftp site 
(ftp.freebsd.org) - wouldn't it be better for them to lead to list of 
mirrors, or even by some dynamic gadget (PHP or JavaScript) to the mirror 
"nearest" to the visitor (PostgreSQL uses a thing like that and it works 
perfectly :) ). The link to "mirror sites" just after the big table is 
small and unnoticable - maybe something bigger and more visible, possibly 
before the table would be better.

- (minor problem: search is not working yet)

The new design is great!
