Fedora or Ubuntu are not wildly different, so it's not a big problem.
Should we 
a) Not show them anything, because not everyone uses our defaults?
b) Show them one version (Ubuntu) and forget that we have defaults?
c) Show them nothing?
d) Something else?

I would prefer to just link to LiveCDs for the distributions, but
1) They don't provide these at the right time.
2) They don't all provide them.
3) They are not all a good user experience.
