R: [Linrad] Obsolete

["libero.it; ik7ezn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Leif.

I think it is better to rearrange the main page of the site.

Every 
now and happen to need that obsolete information.

Do not delete the pages but 
leaves with links clear so as not to confuse the ideas to those who browse on 
the site.
