Don't judge optimized pngs from this example. Those pngs look terrible.

Here's what a 64 color png looks like created in Photoshop: http://i.imgur.com/4p2SW.png

It's smaller and better looking than the jpeg that they actually use on their home page: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/files/images/icons/twiki.jpg?125...

The photoshop version would look even better and be even smaller if it were created from the uncompressed source instead of a jpg.

You're right, these guys just don't know how to create indexed PNGs properly. I ran their originals through Photoshop, with 100% dither at 96 colors, then used pngout (the best* png compressor), and came out with better looking, smaller files.
