[Dextrose] Screenshot for sugardextrose.org

I noticed that the new Dextrose site (sugardextrose.org) has lost a
couple of things that I thought were important for end users:

 - a good, large screenshot of what the installed system looks like
 - a list of reasons (i.e.: end-user visible features) to choose it

Now I look at the front page and I get the impression that I'm looking
at a project hosting site. The feeling is reinforced by the absence of
news, release notes, download links, etc.

I also felt that associated Dextrose with that silly smiling XO logo
helped humanize the operating system, conveying subliminal hints that
Dextrose is "user friendly", "worry free", "fun"...

Still unconvinced? Consider that Android is also associated with a silly
mascotte, probably for the same reasons.
