How about a few little changes to the Mono download page to make those
of us who aren't Novell a little more obvious to users?

1) Rather than the text link for "Unsupported downloads", how about an
icon alongside the existing ones for VMware et al?

2) Rather than that link open a wiki page, how about it yield a
second-level icon list filled with ruddy great big distro icons that
users are more likely to notice?

3) How about each of those icons link to a per-distro Wiki page, with
much more distro-specific info, with text along the lines of "Your
distribution provides Mono packages for you, please click here for
more information"?

Right now, there's one page for all non-Novell systems which basically
only contains Debian/Ubuntu info (because I put it there), it's a huge
messy page, and any casual Fedora or Arch user won't even realise what
the deal is unless they know it already.
