In principle I think it’s a good idea.  In practice I’m not sure what
this would look like, though.

For instance, does that mean /distro would be a “second home page”, with
screenshots, contacts, blog entries, baseline, and all?  Or would it be
different?  What would be remove from or add to the actual home page?

Thoughts?
