Otherwise, back to the art... very nice! For the CD cases it seems
like
the "sun" isn't the same as the DVD case or the rest of the
artwork...
could you check that?
It's the same base XCF, but some of the layers have been hidden,
removing some of the surface turbulence and most of the foreground
flares. If we're going with the top image though, I'd like to see
those
layers restored.
It is really the problem for me to merge the same planet from DVD to
CD, since I didn't find a better way to copy several layers together
to another Gimp file(I am a newbie there...), so finally I made a png
for the planet image and combine it into the CD files. I am sure that
the conversion from layers to png has eaten something... Anyone gives
me some ideas on that?

You might want to use the MgOpen Modata font, as that's the font that

installed by running
yum install mgopen-fonts
Yeah, MgOpen Modata for the release number (10), disk title (x86
LiveCD)
and for the url (fp.o). But the copyright text *may* be better (has to
be tested) to stay with a plain font (Liberation, DejaVu) for
readability.
In fact I used the MgOpen Moderna, since when I tried to use MgOpen
Modata, I found that the effects on my works showed a little
difference from the ones in the sleeves of Fedora 9, where MgOpen
Modata was used. I think I can changed it soon.

That is a real concern when printing on the real CD on large scale,
but
for inkjet sleeve printing (do yourself at home) it is not a problem.
Ye guys, you are right. I didn't consider this problem. I will try to
decrease the number of colors.
Thanks for all of your comments!
