I did not explain well.

Then you said:
my solution (and the one from
Stefan before) already does that from the very beginning.

And I wanted to say:
When not detected,
http://test.libreoffice.org/download-3
simply pre-selects rpm.

Me neither. btw I don't think Carlos meant pop-up when he said "prompt".

Now, what about this:

If system detection successes, the system prompts a listbox with:
- Windows
- Mac x86
- Mac PPC
- Linux x86 rpm
- Linux x86 deb
- Linux 64 bit rpm
- Linux 64 bit deb

And the right listbox is pre-selected.

Else, if Linux is detected but not the distro, the system prompts a
different listbox and a link.

The listbox is:
- Debian
- Fedora
- Mandriva
- Mint
- PCLinuxOS
- Ubuntu
- openSUSE

The link is:
- Show other versions.

"Show other versions" leads to the first listbox, but with no
pre-selected option.
