I think a "Help me choose" choice that takes you to a page with descriptions
of each spin's environment would be more friendly (and probably more
accurate as to why someone would want to use that choice.

On the opposite side, there could be a "Show me everything"  to just link
to all the ISO's, which is aimed at the folks who know what they want and
just want to get there in the quickest number of clicks.
