HiI'd like to formalize the list of linux distributions. Maybe it exists already and I just don't know about it, but I think it would do us all good to have a simple wiki or web page listing Linux distributions, location, and their status--hence wiki.
I can start it or really anyone can ... best Louis On 2006-02-03, at 06:45 , Richard/g wrote:

I had been using that method throughout the 1.x releases and it was a reliable way to install and maintain OpenOffice no matter what the distribution was. The reason I suggest this is that not every distribution uses RPM. By offering your main Linux download based on RPM, you imply support for mainstream distributions only. Someone like myself who uses Slackware, and from time to time "no distribution" misses the previous distribution-neutral setup program.
