It pretty much looks fine in konqueror, however if the default background is set to any other color, the background under the ads, and the bottom of the page is that color, instead of white. (Say I put it to black... that would be rather disorienting)

Looks fine in IE 6.0 on Windows XP.

One thing that feels odd is the Big Flashy Button Things (" Portage: an easy to use world-class package management solution.", " Over 8,000 packages + in-depth documentation =3D unlimited potential." etc) does not apear on every page. I understand they take space, but it looks odd.

Very good, and keep up the good work!

After receiving a ton of very useful feedback from the developer community I have updated the redesign. It should now be closer to 100% accessible and it should (hopefully) render perfectly in all browsers including text only browsers. It now passes XHTML and CSS validation tests.

I'm asking for everyone (developers and users alike) to please have a look at the updated site and send any feedback you may have. I'm especially interested in feedback from anyone who uses accessibilty programs such as screen readers or if you are color blind or have any other accessibilty issues.

Also, I only use GNU/Linux and I have only tested on the following browsers:

Mozilla-1.7
firefox-1.0
Opera-8.5
Internet Explorer-6 under CrossOver Office
Epiphany-1.8.2
Links-2.1 in text mode and graphics mode.

If you have access to a Macintosh, Windows, *BSD or any other OS or Browser please test the site and include your OS and the browser version in your feedback. I haven't received feedback from Konqueror or Safari so feedback from those browsers would be much appreciated.

The only major outstanding issue is the contents of the menu in the grey bar at the top and what should appear in the 5 purple boxes directly under them. Currently I have that menu listed in order of what a new Gentoo user would need to access first. If you have a better idea of what should be included in this menu or think something important is being left out please send that in your feedback as well.

Thanks in advance

Curtis
