Both come out quite wide. Far too wide, IMO.

The banner could be simply "Happy 4th Birthday!". It's on the OpenSolaris
home page, so OpenSolaris is implied. And if that's not obvious, then people
may be more likely to click through to understand it. (And can the text in the
bannerbe centered rather than left-justified?)

For the page itself, the digit 4 drops off the right. I think I would
shrink the digits
a little, and think about stacking the then and now above each other rather than
side by side. That would allow the text to be extended to clarify:
 - downloads: of what?
 - users: of what? (the opensolaris.com distribution, I suspect)
 - members->participants
 - contributions -> sponsored contributions (and zap the kernel bit)
