Perhaps the idea then should be to have a shorter, punchier description
of Fedora, then a large appropriately-colored "Get Fedora" link that
arrives at an easy-to understand download page -- better than what the
Wiki currently has, which is mind-boggling to people new to Linux.  (I
like the idea of the link saying "Get Fedora. Get [Infinite] Freedom."
