Firefox-1.0.7 here, on a 1024x768 screen, and i think there is too
much wasted space. Since i'm not new to Gentoo, when i go to the
front page it's either to follow link to the doc or to read news.
The former is fine, but the later is not (news are the last ~10% of
what i see):

I'm not good at HTML things so i can't send a patch, but I think the
vertical size of the information boxes on top should be only what
is needed for the text to fit, and not the background image size
or whatever else it is at the moment. And also, there should be
much less white space before the real contents starts.  Modified in
Gimp, it would more looks like that:

Oh, and also, i don't really like the "Get Gentoo and compile
software optimaly for your architecture" slogan. Not that it's
completly wrong, but my experience with new users on forums is that
those who came to Gentoo mainly for that reason are usualy
disapointed.  I would rather see something about system
customization in general (i mean, not only CFLAGS but also USE
flag et al., which is much more interresting).  Something like "Get
Gentoo and make your own « sur mesure » system.", but i don't know
how to translate "sur mesure" from french to english.
