that's good, because would make it way more prominent than other offerings,
however, it could be a bit confusing, i could imagine someone installing the 
mediacenter or the netbook on a machine intended for a normal destop, so "oh 
this KDE thing sucks"... 
it would be needed something "select your type of device" don't have an answer 
how to make such a question appealing and not annoying tough
