looks like the wording is fixed. looks good to me; very brief with all the essentials except maybe mention of rawrite or whatever. on the other hand, the page is so long, firefox fails at simple text search, but maybe that's just firefox. i mean http://9front.org/releases/

@sl:
it's possible the sheer length of that page delays loading the first image in some browsers. if that's not the problem, you could perhaps hard-code the height of the image in html. or maybe werc could find the image size. if you want to do it that way and don't have anything better, the following awk code will print the size of a plan 9 image:
/^compressed$/ {next}; {print $4-$2, $5-$3; exit}

@hiro:
i recall hybrid isos long before the "isohybrid" word appeared, so much so that the introduction of the word confused me. ;) in freedos, osdev, and formerly 9front communities, i've also seen several instances of people expecting isos to be hybrids, being confused when they weren't. i'm thinking your confused professionals must be a rare breed! ;)
