I think I referred to some of the other websites which do this before 
but see

http://software.opensuse.org/
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

Which spin? - Officially spins explained in this page. Other community 
spins explained in http://spins.fedoraproject.org

Arch? (x86 by default)
Type of installation? (CD/DVD/Network with Live CD's by default)
Location? (no default)
