Yeahr, well, HTML is a bit limited to do layouts and to stay simple
and maintainable at the same time. Since the rest of the page is
centered, I am for centering the text above, too. This would break
it ...
About the requested line-break, yes, I've already told others about
this and that it doesn't look so good. Also keep in mind, that you
have already looked at that page over and over again in different
versions. So, you are biased. Try to think as someone who sees the
page the first time. This means, that some parts focus your attention
that don't focus yours now!

Sorry ,but what exactly do you mean? The current menu is probably the
most simplistic one I could imagine. The only important point is, that
the sub-menu needs a smaller font than the menu and stays below. The
alignment itself works well (in all browsers) and everybody
understands how it works...

I have collected some ideas from other pages and I think i know how to
do this. The important point I still want to maintain is the ability
to download for all platforms. So, just preselecting, but no pre-
censoring!
But can we just leave it for now until the page is finally online?
Once it is clear how the prebuilt binaries will work out, I'll start
working on that page to keep it shorter, include more about the
binaries and DVD

If you know a better formulation, could you email it me?
