Distropedia: Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris distro information source.

Sorry I haven't been around much lately but I realise its past time to get back to Distropedia.  Thanks be to fistfullofroses for his recent new post on a-Linux.

I'll use this Blog entry as a new to do list.

Feel free to take on anything yourself or add suggestions.

Top Priority: Main Distro Pages

• Update for Dreamlinux (new release) Done
  
• Check for new releases of other "majors" - Suse, Fedora, PCLinuxOs, Mepis, Antix, Mint
• Prepare updates for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, UbuntuStudio for the "Hardy Heron" release (24 April?)
• Write up Gobuntu and other Ubuntu derivatives
• Write up Maryan Linux (and edit the Mint page to note the fork) Done
  
• Write up OzOs and Ozian
• Check for deaths or disappearances in the Linux family and amend their pages.
  

 

Other

• Check and update my own articles on the Debian bloodline and Ubuntu derivatives
• Start a new "Library" page for links to beginner and distro choice articles.

In the meantime, if you have come here looking for basic information, I'd recommend this article as good primer about the pros and cons of Linux for the home desktop.

See you round.  Call into the CafeLinux forums if you have questions or suggestions.
