Probably wouldn't hurt, but I usually get annoyed by slideshows
before I notice if there is a pause button or not. More of a personal
preference for static pages I guess, lots of people seem to like
them though, certainly I find them on lots of web sites.

Server use was really just an example. There are messages like this:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2008-February/022721.html

from time to time all through the fedora user's archives. I just
found that example in about 10 seconds of searching. The concept
of "stable" is constantly ridiculed in the user list when someone
has the audacity to complain about things changing, so it just
seemed a weird word to find in the fedoraproject front page.
I think the word "stable" would be better off replaced with
something like "cutting edge" in that first slide.
