Nice brushup!!! www.freebsd.org

[Malachi de Ælfweald]

Actually, the one thing that I think I would recommend above all else is to
include "Beta Release 6.0" (or whatever) under "Latest Releases" on the
front page. If people are buying newer AMD64 boards (as appears to be
recommened by the paragraph on the left), it would seem it would be better
for them to be using 6.0 instead of 5.4 or 4.11 (for better chance of mobo
compatability).
