1) No adds from doubleclick etc

2) Avoid the hated java applets

10)Keep it simple with few graphics (especially not animated/java ones -
they chew up all the processor power on low end machines, often killing
the session) - current site rates nearer mirablis icq than as easy to
browse

11)Make available a true text version (doesnt the american gov have a
rule for disability access that states that a text or similar easy to
read site must be available for the visually impaired) - like many
others I am bandwidth impaired and do not appreciate adds/eye candy -
they come across as places that do not care for their
customer/advertising target, leaving a bad taste behind.

12)Keep links to support, downloads, Mandrake.org, cooker etc prominent
and on the entry page - otherwise I will go direct and not even bother
looking at the main page!  RedHat is particularly frustrating in this
way, have not seen their main page for many months!

Thanks

* Just reread and noticed that the two itwms that really anoyed me
appear at the top, positives such as the comprehensive (perhaps too much
so) side bar of the present site came to mind much later!
