This looks a lot better, thanks.  But note that the 2.6.28 and 2.6.29
stable series are no longer maintained, and the current versions of them
have known security issues, so it might not be a good idea to show that
they are recommended for use at all.

Is there some way that we can "mark" activly maintained releases to have
them show up on the front page in any way?  We can use the LATEST-IS
type file in the kernel directory if you want, that would be a simple
way to maintain this information.

thanks,
