Debian Download Web Page

It's just a very tiny difference, but hopefully a big step forward for our users. Our main download web page (which still uses the URL https://www.debian.org/distrib/) now has the title "Download Debian". Hopefully this will improve the results in the search engines.

A brief history of this web page in time

  • 1998: The title "Distribution" was added
  • 2002: Title changed to "Getting Debian"
  • 2024: Finally changed to "Download Debian"

Here are the screenshots of these three versions.

I like that we had a selection menu on the top right corner to select a mirror for downloading in the past.

A few days ago I've also removed the info "Internal ISDN cards are unfortunately not supported." from the netinst subpage. Things are moving forward, but slowly.
