Thank you for reminding me, because we talked about this months ago in
Raleigh IIRC. This should go at the top, and everything else should
be *HIDDEN* until the user makes a choice:
"Are you new to Linux? Are you unsure about your computer's hardware?
If so, choose 'FOR BEGINNERS' below. If you feel comfortable giving
more details, choose 'FOR EXPERTS'."
New to Linux? Unsure of Do you know what kind of
your computer's hardware? processor you have, or
Select this option. what kind of Fedora you
want? Select this option.
fedora fedora
[FOR BEGINNERS] [FOR EXPERTS]
