Hello Fernando,
Romanian:
Selectaţi versiunea disponibil should be Selectaţi versiunea disponibilă
Download button could be Descarcă

Maybe it should be translated completly (including the part after
submit), and maybe there should be added all the files, like legion's
iso for sisyphus server (there are several with size 130-200mb), enp's
iso's (server lite with or without repo). Also there is place for
AltLinux Desktop Lite, the one with XFCE.

My 2 cents.

Having separate areas for different flavours might be helpful:
e.g. one looking for Server would hardly mix it up with Desktop.

The categories clearly standing out to me are:
- flavour
- version
- platform
- [beta]

PS: what is the script you used? (judging on translations list,
it was already available)

It is actually just ALT Linux Lite, without Desktop. But I second this,
Lite should be included. Concerning distributions made by community
members - there's a lot of troubles gathering all those from different
people/ (and wherever else) sites. Besides, they are by no means
official and may disappear at any time. Maybe it would be good to create
some infrastructure that would allow for storing and managing community
distributions. Atm, there's no such infrastructure.

Sorry for the mistake. Regarding the community distros, some of them
could be continued, because they are worth it.
Like server lite or sisyphus lite with/without openvz kernel.

What about Terminal Server, where one's going to find it? :)

Beta versions in a separate area may be fine. Concerning other
categories - I'd like to have more or less everything on one page
(regardless of versions).

I guess a wiki page serves just fine.

I believe so. Anyone to create one at http://en.altlinux.org? I just
don't know, which specific distributions are worth mentioning there.

So far in far far directory on an ftp server in nearby galaxy,
or sort of. :)

I think that getting "latest stable" handy and a link to archive,
beta and unofficial builds might be better.

BTW releases.altlinux.org (or whatever) might be better than
trying to chase down an iso on ftp, too.

Well, I mean - in terms of "areas" ;)

Maybe.

Actually, it's what we are making now. It just doesn't have a URL that
ends with altlinux.org, but it's the least problem.

I mean something sane for minimal mirrors too.

Hi mike

yes, i'm developing a new version with full list of mirror (and my new 
mirror) with ajax.

My idea is:

1) User select first the Distro Version (Desktop, Server, Office, etc...)
2) Choose the type of Computer (32, 64, netbook, powerpc, 286, xt, etc..)
3) in next choose the Media (DVD, CD or in a Future the Network 
Installation)
4) and choose the Mirror
5) and show the Link to "Download"

6) User Happy
