I like the new home page with the quick start examples and news etc. But may 
I humbly suggest not to use fixed widths for the two columns of the front 
page, but rather adapt (mostly the left column) to the user's window size? 
If I view the page, I cannot get rid of the scroll bars for the example 
boxes, even if I view in full screen mode. This makes the comments behind 
the commands hard to read.

Cheers
