In principle I think it’s a good idea. In practice I’m not sure what
this would look like, though.
For instance, does that mean /distro would be a “second home page”, with
screenshots, contacts, blog entries, baseline, and all? Or would it be
different? What would be remove from or add to the actual home page?
Thoughts?
