Actually, I just searched around the docs site a bit, and maybe we should add a link to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/sn-which-arch.html. This has both the model names and types. It still might be a bit intimidating to many people though, since it attempts to list every single possible case (I still find "Intel-compatible PC" to be a bit easier to understand). If users aren't sure which of i386 or x86_64 to choose, should we make it clearer that i386 will work if they're not sure?

Any idea exactly how people are being confused by the text "Intel-compatible PCs?" Should we perhaps make this text larger and more noticable? I don't know about most people, but I would personally be more confused/intimidated if presented with all of those processor names.

It'd be easy enough to add a small box, as on the get-fedora-all page, that says "After downloading an ISO, verify it" with a link to the verify page. The one issue that would remain is that the filenames have changed since the previous releases and I'm not sure that it's best to change the verify text to reflect that just yet. If we did, it would be confusing to folks looking to verify their download of the stable F10 release. If we wait until F11 is the stable release, I think it may be acceptable to let folks downloading an older release figure out that the filenames need changing, I think.

gpg checking downloads
The torrents for the Fedora downloads include gpg signed checksum files (SHA1SUM for old releases, *-CHECKSUM for fedora 11 beta and wot-not). It would sure be handy to have instructions directly on the download pages that tell you how to actually verify the signature and check the checksums :-). Is this a good place to complain about that, or is another list or bugzilla component better?

Fedora 11 countdown banner (artwork team release)
In the past days some people have requested a F11 countdown banner for a blog using. So, below you can find a proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/b/b7/Deepsky-fedora11-countdown-banner_1a.png https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/0/00/Deepsky-fedora11-countdown-banner_1a.svg The original background image was downloaded from here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonythemisfit/3387589463/sizes/o/ License seems to be ok for Fedora. Feedbacks are welcome. -- Paolo Leoni ~ http://pleoni.altervista.org -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list

My site is still showing Fedora 10. Does a Fedora 11 counter exist? It is early, for the last releases we had it running in the last month or so, when we had quite sure the release date will not have a major delay. AFAIK, Paolo Leoni from the Art Team, who did the graphics for F10, expressed the interest to make them for F11 too. The artwork used in the Beta release (Greek landscape with temple) is going to be replaced with something completely different, so once we are settled on the wallpaper graphic, the counter can be made to fit it. Also, this showed up in my reading of the Fedora Planet this morning: http://blog.berkenpies.nl/?p=128 That was the updated version after I commented on his first try (http://blog.berkenpies.nl/?p=127).
