Incoming distros

Distros ready to be evaluated:

The following distros have stable releases ready to be evaluated. These have not been evaluated for freedom yet, so they are not in the gnu.org "Free GNU/Linux Distributions" list.

• ConnochaetOS

• LibertyBSD

Distros in development but not yet ready to be evaluated:

The following distros are in active development and have expressed a commitment to following the "Free System Distribution Guidelines" and an interest in being recognized by the FSF as a freedom-respecting operating system but do not yet have stable releases available.

If you have created a distribution intended to meet the free distribution guidelines and want to be added to this list for review, please see the information at http://www.gnu.org/distros. Reviewing the other pages in that area couldn't hurt, either.
