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.
