There's not so much you can do about that. Besides, the English and German
languages require left-to-right, top-to-bottom reading, so it makes sense for
the rest of the site (in those languages) to adopt the same orientation. As
for the Japanese pages, the orientation in Japanese is confused enough as it
is. =)

I think colour in the illustration might ruin the smooth colour scheme.

Oh, I haven't been there since version 2.X. I really miss the platforms table
on the right, though.

Exactly, FreeBSD lacks the essentials, i.e. how to get it, install it and what
it runs on.

Php/fi: The syntax does a very good job on combining the drawbacks of C with
the disadvantages of Perl, in general resulting in a completely unreadable
sequence of seemingly random characters. Therefor it became quite popular
among Unix-fossils.
