>Description:
I just wanted to download freebsd and searched for a "download" link on 
the webpage. But there is none and willing new users first have to crawl
through the ftp directories like a moron to find a downloadable iso image.

Would it be that hard just to add a simple "download" link on the main 
webpage? The current situation makes me feel like using Windows where I've to press "start" to shutdown my system.
