Website Face Lift

On about the 18^th 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.
