The Download Tab (at least from my understanding) is the text that will actually be on the new Xfce Spin so we wanted it to provide similar information but be a little more brief. I can get clarification on that though and if need be we will come up with some different information/text/verbage to post there. >That said, I had to look up what Xfce Spin > actually is (a Fedora LiveCD that boots into the Xfce desktop and can > install to the hard drive as well, evidently).

I have added a short blurb that is informative to that effect. <snip> Many thanks for your comments! It was very helpful to get some review from someone versed in the art of the pen (well ... keyboard, but you know what I mean). If there are any other comments/criticisms/snide remarks or otherwise please feel free to let me know, we really hope to make all aspects of the Xfce Spin shine and that includes our new spins page!
