- Keep- Despite being a free software which often don't receive the publicity they deserve, this distro has received reviews in magazines and linux-related websites[1][2]. There are How-To's and other general mention in books (search it up on Google Books). It is on Distrowatch, which adds to the notability further. Magazines, websites such as distrowatch and books are all independent sources—that's what Wikipedia:Notability wants. There is no specific guideline to gauge the notability of software because Wikipedia:Notability (software) is dead.Magic.Wiki (talk) 04:10, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
