The formatting is nice ... but I confess picking nice colours to display things is most definitely NOT my forte' ... Thats more "marketing", and thats a Ubuntu strong point, but its not something I would dream of trying to compete against in a forum stickie. Also, such a marketing presentation (with nice colours and fonts) is the sort of thing that someone with a different skill set than I would have to tackle.

Also, from what I saw with a cursory look, the scope of the Ubuntu page is well beyond Installation, while I am trying hard to focus on only installation for Newbies, with ONLY selected post install pointers (not post install guides) on where to look after the install is complete. Also, that Ubuntu page most definitely comes across more as something that would be compared vs an openSUSE wiki, and not compared to a stickie on our forum. I would like to keep this in context.

There may (hopefully) come a time when our forum posts and wiki posts are more closely merged, but I don't think we are there yet. I know I am definitely not up to creating a wiki page (with fancy fonts/colours) specific to openSUSE-11.1 installation at this time. Nor likely for the future. Again, fancy fonts/colours are not my forte. Someone else who enjoys spending lots of time iteratively trying different fonts/colours, and who enjoys that sort of stuff would need to do that.

I've spent the past couple of hours playing with a Fedora live CD and looking at their documentation, to see what I can pick up there. ... Thus far, I think we look as good, if not better, than Fedora documentation/live-CD.

wrt Ubuntu, I get overwhelmed by the vast amount of Ubuntu documentation. Plus, given I find fedora interesting, and Ubuntu boring, I think someone else (other than myself) needs to go thru the Ubuntu forums for "newbie installation stickie" material.
