Yes, I agree. I like the simplicity of their page, nothing appearing or disappearing. I think that if we (and it sounds like we are going to start) push one .iso, we can really reduce confusion on get-fedora. Furthermore, if we follow through with the plan of download said iso with one click, we will see no more of these silly 'reasons' fedora is not as good as the other guys. Because in fact we do offer _more_ install options than I think any one else? ...at least more than most. We need to show off our 'geekier' / more advanced options too. I don't think we should just cater to new, relatively clueless users, IMO. (remember out recent bug for not showing off the netinstall.iso...heh, explain that one to a newb in 1000 words or less) The few reviews I have read all complain about the get-fedora page, for sure. my $0.02 -- Craig -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list
