As far as the plush demons I have not changed any of the content on the
pages just the layout.

So you would agree that a break down of sections would be more beneficial
then the tables... how about this idea... on the main page do it just like
the current www.netbsd.org site then on each link use a perl selector
script for navigation ( i have tested it and it works in lynx).  this
would take away the flash and still allow for navigational help.  I am all
for making the page viewable in lynx, and yes I agree that content is key
I was just trying to make it more navigational via a menu.

let me know what you think...
