Log:
  Refactor the newbies page:
  
  - Rename 'Using the website' to 'Getting FreeBSD'
  - Move the note about the installation instructions, and remove the
    rest of the information that is duplicated elsewhere on the site.
  - Move the links to the Search and Support page under the 'Learning
    about FreeBSD' section.
