i think we could extend your idea. instead of just doing a quicklinking
we could introduce a page like FreeBSD's gallery, but not with every
enterprise/person/consultant using FreeBSD but just the top players, a
short description, what and how they use BSD.

for example:

yahoo: (...) one of internet's most important search engines (...)
use FreeBSD for serving their websites (...)

then we should also do a page with all bsd projects and their forks,
describing and linking them.

ps: i think we could remove those quicklinks
