Website Face Lift

On about the 18th of last month, I started getting bandwidth exceeded notifications from our download host provider. This account provides for 100GB transfer/month. Since the unRAID Server zip file size is about 50MB, this means we had over 2000 downloads in an 18 day period(!). As a result, the downloads have been moved to a separate host which can provide far more bandwidth.
In addition, I reorganized our Joomla! based website, and added a new 12-drive server: the RB-1200 Media Storage Server.
BTW, I must say working with Joomla! has been very enjoyable. In particular if the core does not provide a certain functionality, you can almost always find what you need (or close to it) as an extension.
Speaking of extensions - I had hoped to release a preview of unRAID Server 5.0 for review during the holiday break. Unfortunately addressing the download crisis consumed all my development time. I promise to have something out there very soon. Hint to prospective extension authors: start learning Ruby...
Since quite a bit has been changed in both the layout and content of the website, I would greatly appreciate any reports of typos, errors, suggestions, comments, etc.
