Once GNOME fans click "KDE fans click here button" they don't know how to go back and voila!

Not surprisingly, this was the work of Máirín - thanks a lot for making that page beautiful and easy to use!

download page == teh awesome
I don't know who takes care of this stuff, but I was really really impressed with the new/updated download page for fedora 10. The buttons on the right side of the page are brilliant -- "KDE Fans Click Here" and "Need PowerPC? Click here" -- now sure, I'm biased, because those two versions of Fedora happen to be the two that I use :^) but..objectively speaking, that is user friendly and attractive. Great job, who ever did that! Oh, and making it clear that yes, you can Upgrade and existing installation was great too.

To some extent it depends on what capabilities are developed for opening documents directly from the desktop space, too. Fonts may be a tricky subject but the overall mission should be to lessen the amount of interaction an end user has to have with packages. Package names and usage are often very non-obvious and if we can help desktop users avoid them, all the better. -- Paul W.
