i'd like to add a section for new users/visitors with direct links to our 
installation docs, features descriptions (Differences with Gentoo, smgl 
specific docs, etc...). imho it'll be good for newcomers to have convenience 
way of learning new distribution, won't it? and of course all docs must be up 
to date ;)
and why syndicate was removed? it's a lovely thing rather than Changes to 
test...
all above is imho :)
