Where do you see this page being linked from?
Ideally (hey I'm saying ideally I know its wishful thinking :) )
I think if you clicked to the get fedora page, it would have a rundown
of the different spins with links to the direct downloads for each via
each download method. You know, you shop for a product, figure out which
one you want, and then you figure out the logistics of paying for it and
shipping it... weird analogy but I think it makes sense.
Maybe for each of the download links 'mocked up' below (there are 5)
make a version of the current get fedora page we have now explaining
download methods... ugh, i don't know. :( we have spin | architecture |
obtaining method which makes these pages very difficult to do in a
simple and usable way statically I think.
Anyway, from what I know of the spins, which may very well be wrong, I
would organize a spin explanation page like this:
= Live Images =
Want to try Fedora, but don't want to deal with the hassle of backing up
and reinstalling, or setting up dual boot on your system? Live Images,
new for Fedora 7, are just what you need. Simply download the image,
burn it to a disk, leave it in your disc drive and reboot your system.
That's it. No risk, no hassle. Choose which desktop environment you'd
like (if you're not sure, GNOME is the Fedora default) and download the
appropriate image for your hardware below.

The full Fedora operating system spin is a set of the core packages
included in Fedora, suitable for installation on standard desktop

existing system.
