I agree. I also wouldn't mind something more imageful for the top
banner. I'm sure you can assemble something out of this amazing photo
which I happily license under whatever CC works for the web page:

Also, SUSE is spelled "SUSE" for - uh - 10 years I think now :). Also,
the command line to install qemu is:

  zypper install qemu

as you would expect ;)

But I like it so far - it's a really good start!
