Okay - I'm deleting all the text in my reply, because I want to start over.
Can we do this. Selection 1 - What OS are you using? Options Windows 98 - XP Windows 95 Mac OS X Linux Solaris Free BSD other (This option would control what version you get - if you select Windows 95, then you will get 1.0.3 - no need to ask them what one they want - their OS tells us that. Why are we asking them the same question twice.) Then we ask: Selection 2 - What language do you want to use? Options - whatever languages exist for the OS they selected Then we ask: Do you want to download the Java Runtime Enivoronment with OOo? (If not sure - select yes) Options - Yes No Those three things will give us all the info we need. We will then randomly select a server that has the version/language/OS/JRE they selected. Location doesn't matter. If we want to weight the servers - we can do that on the backend - that's nothing that the user needs to see. For advanced users, those who want an older release or a beta release - or those who want to use a specific server - we can have a separate advance download page for them - with a subtle link to that page on the regular download page. Is that possible? Will that address everything we need to know from the user? It's only 3 questions - but it gives us all the info we need. Would that work? What do you think? -Chad Smith http://www.whatisopenoffice.org/ http://www.gimpshop.net/ Because *everyone* loves free software http://www.chadwsmith.com/ Because - admit it - you've got nothing better to do right now
