The fonts and the logo are far too big, I know. I want to create
another mockup, but it will take some time, since I'm moving at the
moment.
About the distributions menu on the left side I have to disagree. I
don't think it should be replaced with a roll over menu. I would agree
on having the side menu + roll over menu. Space below the side menu
could be used for a sponsor logo for Tuxbrain if the showroom will be
placed on your server.
