Try pressing the spacebar. I use lynx exclusivly on my Linux box, and I
think the page is fine. Past the front page the site is very lynx
compatiable. And the front page is better than most sites I visit.

After having tried out the page in NN, it looks really GOOD. Good job
guys. I think it outways a slightly less lynx friendly front page.

I've got no idea what docbook (sorry: DocBook) is, but I don't think its
use is confusing to anyone, just not relevent to perhaps the majority of
visitors.
