Have three options on the download page: Option 1) Netbooks or hardware three years or more old (32-bit) Option 2) New, non-netbook hardware (64-bit) Option 3) Small text link leading to complete download list, including spins like KDE and XFCE Or just have the download page provide a link to "List all download options" or "Ask me some questions about my hardware" (with every question offering an "I don't know option") - -- Stephen Gallagher RHCE 804006346421761 Delivering value year after year.
