A Linux distro of unclear notability. Article lacks reliable sources with significant coverage, and the primary claim to notability appears to be a passing mention by Stallman/FSF. [[User:Ham Pastrami|Ham Pastrami]] ([[User talk:Ham Pastrami|talk]]) 02:09, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
* '''Keep'''. The mentions are not really passing — it is at their links page; [http://www.linux.com/feature/142772 this] is a passing mention in Linux.com (according to comments, it shouldn't have been mentioned though). --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] ([[User talk:AVRS|talk]]) 20:49, 9 August 2008 (UTC); added desktoplinux.com articles --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] ([[User talk:AVRS|talk]]) 18:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
*:Its presence on FSF's link page is just a link, I think that is well within passing mention territory. [[User:Ham Pastrami|Ham Pastrami]] ([[User talk:Ham Pastrami|talk]]) 22:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

* '''Delete'''. No assertion of notability through significant coverage by independent third parties. Appears to be a minor Fedora respin; its supposed claim to fame (being 100% free software) is hardly novel at this point. [[user:thumperward|Chris Cunningham (not at work)]] - [[user talk:thumperward|talk]] 12:22, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
* '''Keep'''. Still one of the few listed on FSF's website and still appearing in RMS's speeches. Apart from that there are several outstanding aspects, maybe most notably the advent of the Linux kernel's libre version containing no binary blobs, the ability to have rolling releases with bleeding-edge packages through BLAGHEAD, the FREEEEE-project, making it possible to run an EEEpc with entirely free software or the historic BLASTERISK worldwide free phone service. In my opinion it is not appropriate to call BLAG a "minor Fedora respin" because it is no just Fedora with all non-free parts removed, but also with many additional packages from independent repositories, creating a quite unique and well thought-out desktop experience and working state.
