I visited http://www.gridter.com/linx/linux.html and noticed that the page equates Solaris with Linux, which is absurd. The grid also includes BSD distributions. Is CZ tarnished by linking to such blatant disinformation? Would some sort of disclaimer be appropriate? <>< Tim Chambers 12:33, 7 April 2007 (CDT)
- Yes you're right... from viewing the source of that page there are two links to distributions that aren't Linux at all. One link is to http://www.sun.com/software/solaris which of course isn't linux, the other is to "NexentaOS" , a "complete GNU-based open source operating system built on top of the [WWW] OpenSolaris kernel and runtime."
This page was largely imported from Wikipedia, so of course it needs a lot of work, and maybe some parts removed/rewritten. It looks like that "list of distributions" is just trying to bloat itself up over being accurate.
As I said this article needs work. Be bold and dive in! Eric M Gearhart 12:53, 7 April 2007 (CDT)

Inevitable, that results in getting two competing pages for the same thing. We seem to have two version of this page, and people seem to be editing both. One page URL has parentheses, and one doesn't. I think we should keep THIS one and ditch the one with parentheses, but I can't tell which is most current.
