Non-notable super-secret-SCOX-IP-free Linux distro, no evidence of third party coverage. MER-C 10:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nabla 11:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • relisting - The second linked text shown by Android Mouse reads «there are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of Linux operating system distributions already available» but also that «[OpenLab is] installed in hundreds of school and community computer labs across Africa.». Just another distribution? Or one worthy of an article? - Nabla 11:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nice catch. This made me doubt about my recommendation, but I could find a few reasons why that figure may not make OpenLab "that notable":
  • It's unsourced and could be inexact.
  • African schools have fewer computers. Being on 5 computers per school in 200 schools is only 1000 installs.
  • It was true when the article was written, but it's not anymore. OpenLab seems to be dying.
  • The vendor provided incentive to use OpenLab, hence the userbase would be particularly fragile.
Since the full name ("openlab GNU/linux" -wikipedia) only gets 92 Google hits, I'm standing by my Delete.--Chealer 02:54, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
