Hey,

just two things that struck my mind.

1. One can actually buy this Opensuse-Box [1]. Hence I wouldn't use this kind 
of promo for KDE, as long as one can't buy this anywhere. 

2. I personally don't think that this is good promo-material for software at 
all, nowadays. I'm either to young for this, as you noted (never bought 
software in a box) or I'm too spoiled with broadband-internet. 

The latter might not be true for "rural" areas, but if I even take this into 
account, the first problem remains.

And before I forget, the image looks quite good though. 

cheers,
sebastian
