Yes, I know what you mean... :-/ I feel the same, but I thought that the list would become more readable for >90% of the users, while only making usage /slightly/ less comfortable for the remaining users. Anyway, as I said the list of arches is often outdated; non-PC users will currently click on links only to find that their arch isn't offered after all by a vendor. WRT the URLs: I think the "Debian URL" is the more important one for people. Would it make sense to use that URL for the vendor name and to add a "Home" or similar link?

Looks great! :) Cheers, Richard -- __ _ |_) /| Richard Atterer | GnuPG key: 888354F7 | \/¯| http://atterer.net | 08A9 7B7D 3D13 3EF2 3D25 D157 79E6 F6DC 8883 54F7 ¯ '` ¯ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
