Emma has made some fixes. Are these better now?

Martin has suggested expanding the set of operating systems on the top
level so that Ubuntu/Debian, Fedora/Red hat and a few others are
explicitly pulled out rather than just bundled under GNU/Linux. I think
that makes a lot of sense. I don't think Emma wants lots of "Get Bazaar
for xxx" buttons on the home page so maybe the text under "Get Bazaar"
ought to have direct links for the main OSs. Sound OK?

Sure. Please go ahead and make those changes. (It's a wiki.)

Ditto. (I'd like images too but I'm too lazy/busy right now to work out
how to make MoinMoin play that game.)

I'm not sure what you're after here. Go ahead and improve it as you see fit.
