[edit] Dreamlinux

no assertion of notability and is clearly and advert for a flavour of Linux. Doesn't appear notable per WP:WEB Spartaz 18:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

WP:WEB does not apply, since it is software not a website. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 09:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

  • it's 86 on distrowatch down from 67. The top 100 should be in WP too. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 09:41, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Category:Debian-based_distributions contains articles that are not on distrowatch.com startpage -> not top 100. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 09:47, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• keep and improve. I already did some work, will try to do more. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 09:41, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and improve. WP:WEB is not the appropriate criterion to invoke. The article describes an operating system. Moreover, seemingly one of few distros to exclusively use XFCE as their desktop environment, and possibly the foremost in terms of implementing features of OS X. The article does, however, need much more detail, especially on what elements were taken from each of the parent distros (Kanotix, Elive, Morphix, Debian). I also don't find it sounds like an advert, although I would suggest avoiding "boast", and quotes should be in quotation marks. We have an editor volunteering to work on this, so all seems good. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 14:53, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and improve. The article is still a stub. Not the most popular distro, but still a distro that with contributions can be improved to great quality. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 21:08, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and improve. WP:WEB can't apply here, as the article is describing a piece of software, and I believe that the top 100 operating systems based on Linux should be written about. T. Moitie ^[talk] 21:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
