There's a lot of other good content in the wiki, and to help expose some of it more, I've added a spotlight section to the FrontPage, that links to and briefly excerpts a page. We can change what page is spotlighted from time to time.
List good candidates for spotlighting here.
New spotlights:

SpotLight: WhyDebian |
"Why Debian?", you may ask. Debian is another GNU/Linux distribution, and it is another Unix-like operating system. What makes it better than the rest? Why should I use Linux at all? WhyDebian explains all. |
Feel free to swap one of these in for the current spotlight if it's not changed in a while and no new ones are available.
