Suggestion for a new Download page

> Can you check back on the site after Eric has made updates? What do you

More updates done (to docs and faq) on the web site.

Added an faq for this based on your text below.

> anything about these tools, we suggest you to try yum first, as it comes
> with fewer options and fewer complexity than apt. You can always choose

Used that as the basis of the faq.

Someone else will need to work on that page, or it will have to wait.

Added, though all it does is provide links which are already available in
the menu bar at the left.

> > b) What are these yum and apt things?
> > c) How do I get started?

I think those two should be combined.  If someone writes up a good
"what are these yum and apt things" I'll put it in the "Getting started..."
section.

> > d) What else is there to know?

Beats me.  No idea what would go here.

> > e) How do I participate?

Already there.
