I am thinking much simpler
- Fedora Gnome
- Fedora KDE
and for everything else:
- Fedora netinstall

Plus more specialized spins like Fedora Scientific, Fedora Jam at some
other "Special Spins" page.

I tried to find the netinstall image today. I realized that they made
this tremendously hard. Fortunately, I found a blog page of adamw,
thanks to some folks at #fedora. Accordingly, the netinstall has been
renamed to "server install image". So I had to find a mirror, go to
Server directory under F21, and download the image from there.

All of this would have been avoided by putting a simple link on the home page.

Sad...
