I think it would be better if you added some button on the vast space
inside the window, rather than in the menu, or toolbar or whatever it
is. The current one looks sort of strange to me. Also the menu for the
green one would be probably better in dark green than in near-black.

Maybe *I* am not the target audience[1], but I do not like the SUSE 
cover, its too busy, with so much text that is simply makes me to not 
read it. Only the "Novell" word grab my attention, but not too much. 
It's boring and a "corporate" look.


I like how from the first look I can understand that the other disc is a 
DVD and is Fedora.

The concept is very good and I like Nicu's version where gradient on
their own layer.
Perhaps echo-artist package should get that version.

Actually, in the case of the Live CD, it should be "i686". Or, for
installer CDs, "i386". (from what I remember)

Other people have already pointed out that removing the nebula will

The "x86_32" should simply be "x86".

That version of striketrough looks better because it perfectly integrate
with the letter.

Seeing the preview, a serif typeface is much a better approach than
using sans-serif.
