c) For really lots of repositories (e.g. > 10) replace the names with shorter abbreviations: - remove spaces and "_" - replace "linux" with L, "opensuse" with OS, "suse" with S, "mandriva" with M and "fedora" with F (this should shorten most of the possible names). Why not show the status for one distro combined over all hardware platforms using an icon, for example one bullet in color green or red per hardware platform? A mouseover effect on the bullet could show the platform string and the table header could contain the platforms as well like: Fedora Ex 6 i586, x86_64
I agree that this is somehow confusing for newbies, but this entire page is for experts who know what they want to investigate and quickly get to know the symbolic. I'll attach two icon examples, they're small. And I only allow myself drawing little images because its friday ;-) Klaas -- Klaas Freitag Architect OPS/IPD SUSE LINUX Products GmbH - Nuernberg
