Is it the problem that the default link is 32-bit is not clear? The page
does describe that.

64-bit download link
by Pete Zaitcev
Hello:
A friend of mine (who's not a computer person in general) complained
that he downloaded a DVD image to upgrade and it turned out to be
a 32-bit image. Fortunately, Anaconda detected it. I checked and
indeed it seems we only have links to 32-bit images here:
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora
I figured out eventually that additional architectures are available
through the mirror list, but the problem is the huge and attractive
button at the main page that misleads people into downloading
the 32-bit version. Is there a way to make things friendlier?
Greetings,

typo in a paragraph
by Aleksander Trofimowicz
I guess I found one (underscored) on this page
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Kernel:
"Because some programs use atime, disabling by default is not
practical. The Linux kernel has a feature called relatime [...] It
works by updating the atime field on disk only if the file hasn't been
accessed since the last time it was __accessed__ (to provide the new
email detection capability) or when the last access was more than 1
day ago (to help programs and users clean up unused files in the /tmp
directory). [...]"
Shoudn't be there 'changed/modified' instead?

Redesigning test download page
by Paul W. Frields
As we've developed better PR interaction for our test phase pre-releases,
I'm concerned that we should have a more useful download page for the
pre-releases. The more frequent media attention for pre-releases is
likely to drive more general audiences to the pre-release download
pages, and we should be prepared for that interaction.
Currently the "get-prerelease" page is pretty much the equivalent of
the old "get-fedora" page, only with the pre-release warning at the
top. The redesign of the "get-fedora" page, on the other hand, is
fairly successful, although I still feel like it's a little busy.
That notwithstanding, what does the Websites team feel we could do
with the "get-prerelease" page? Could/should we have it better match
the way the "get-fedora" page currently works?
