Is there some reason Fedora BFO won't suit?
https://boot.fedoraproject.org/faq

Thanks (I think, separate on-topic response to follow)! I never knew it existed. Several things about Fedora 'conspired' to impede its discovery:

1-most test mailing list posts presume all readers know all the cryptic terms like koji, alt, lkrn, bfo, etc. I don't know them all, and tend to delete without reading those that include the the ones I don't recognize in their subject lines.

2-no search boxes at the tops of *fedoraproject.org* pages

3-maze of subdomains:
        admin.fedoraproject.org
        alt.fedoraproject.org
        boot.fedoraproject.org
        bugz.fedoraproject.org
        docs.fedoraproject.org
        download.fedoraproject.org
        fedoraproject.org
        fedoraproject.org/wiki
        koji.fedoraproject.org
        kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org
        lists.fedoraproject.org
        mirrors.fedoraproject.org

Some prefixes are widely used elsewhere. Some on their faces make sense. But without an obvious and easy to find catalog, trying to find what probably or obviously should be there somewhere compounds the gobbling of my time described following.

4-I filed a bug (still unfixed) 19 months ago about this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638726 Like most of the web, *fedoraproject.org is styled to be hard to use, with pale, tiny type pervading. This problem I did something more about this morning. Others may find it useful if using a browser that can use user stylesheets to override rude, naive and/or stupid CSS: http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/fedoraprojectorg.css [1] The problem with this is it only works on a per browser basis. Those who use more than one either have to limit to using only one browser to project access, or apply it to all that might ever or each in turn as required. In the Geckos, applying requires browser restart.
