back the changes needed from oVirt for the download page and

http://people.redhat.com/glesage/oVirt/website/mockup-1/download-alt.html
It's based on what is currently on oVirt.org, with some minor changes:
• simplification of the installation steps
• inclusion of system requirements and some summary text at the top
As I wanted to communicate what each section would say, I wrote some
filler text that should be somewhat close to the idea of what we
might want to use. However, the text on this page is very rough in
comparison to the other pages, so please keep this in mind.
First of all, I do like the new design.
= Navigation =
Should the navigation label be different from the page header? I do like
'get started', maybe more than 'download'. OTOH, getting started might
be ambigous because a user has a different starting point than a
developer. Perhaps this is no issue because there's already a develop
link as well.
= Alignment of numbers =
Right now they're not in the center and that kind of drives me insane ;)
= Other distros =
Personally I love the idea of supporting different distros and we should
encourage people to adopt theirs / get a porting effort going. Maybe
this page could use a small text with pointers on how to do that?
(Though I'm not sure if we currently have such a thing.)
Keep up the good work.
