This issue has been complained about for a while, but noone has fixed it. So, here's a fix.

Apparently, I don't have access to push directly to the alpine-mksite repo. Since I don't have 'git send-email' working, I'm emailing the patch this way.

I didn't promise pretty. For now, I think it's better than the hover text.

Thanks!

I pushed it and its visible at http://wwwtest.alpinelinux.org/downloads/

But I don't think it looks good. What do you think? Is it acceptable?
better than only having the flavor description in hover text?

Maybe we should re-think the downloads page layout?

There is not enough contrast separating the types of downloads. Would be
nice you would see that the moment you open the page.
I think also some of the descriptions could be changed as they do not
really point out the specifics of a release ie:

Vanilla: only for debugging? Alpine with a vanilla kernel without grsec
patch set. Suitable for debugging.
ARM General: its not so general as its target for hardware with uboot
bootloader. "General build for ARM architectures with uboot bootloader
support"
