Newbie Alert sticky


I was just looking at that and I noticed that it's got a bit out of date. Checking the suspects at Distrowatch confirmed

Dormant: KWheezy, Mepis
Discontinued: CrunchBang, Damn Small, Joli, Simplicity

Could this be updated?

I was also a bit surprised to see Fedora described as a "community version of Red Hat" under "Business-Friendly Operating Systems". It's the foundation for Red Hat, not a version of it like CentOS (Scientific, Springdale); it's often very cutting edge and each version is EOL after just 13 months: not what most people would want for a business!

Perhaps contact onebuck with a PM and ask if they wish to perform a revision of that sticky.
