Yes, easy to solve but not for someone who doesn't want to register at Wikipedia. ;)

You want to take a crack at it?

Puh, to be honest: not really. If doing that syntax i get headaches.
Let me pull it around my head (though it's of those things where i think: "pull it round the head" in the hope to forget until someone else does it).
I am sure someone at antix takes care of that (for antix, duh) and i thinking asking for their help is a good option.
I am very lazy these days and often just browse the web. Let me look at the links you gave above.

dbbo is good with wiki syntax. I will send a request for help at twitter (another good option) -as long fsmithred is fine with it (which i assume, as long he won't intervene in the following say 48 hours).

[quote="golinux"]Refracta should at least be included on these two pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... tributions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_family#Debian-based

Creating an entry specifically for Refracta would be a bit more complicated but most of the content was worked out at the beginning of the thread.
I do hope someone will take it on.

Those wikipedia pages are far from being comprehensive.
Same goes for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Li ... tributions which only shows 48 "Debian derivatives"

In contrast, the search results list at distrowatch shows 66
(params: active, based on Debian, not based on Ubuntu)
http://distrowatch.com/search.php?ostyp ... tus=Active
and even that list is STILL incomplete (at least a dozen are stalled on the "distrowatch waiting list")
BTW, what the heck criteria does DW consider when describing a distro as "active"?
I think their criteria needs to be more strict & that their db should be culled.

Anyhow, if you signup and edit at wikipedia, brace yourself for finding a whole lotta politics/********.
Edit something...
...seconds later (literally)(must be bots scripted to watch given pages)
you might find your painstakingly-crafted edit reverted, for no good reason.
So, messing with wikipedia isn't worth the aggravation, in my opinion.

So I guess you won't be volunteering to do it!

Thanks to jamison over at fdn, refracta2usb is now listed on this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_t ... SB_systems

Anyone know if it works on Debian kFreeBSD?

Congrats! But it took me a while to find the listing because it's the last one in the list and not in alphabetical order. There should be a way to fix that . . .

Wish someone would do a Refracta entry on the Linux OS page.

I think the refracta lines just need to be moved up. But I don't really know. Anyone can edit. I already made a couple minor edits, but I didn't move anything. Maybe when I have more time and I feel brave. Or maybe you'll beat me to it?

I don't have an account at Wikipedia (and don't want to have one). ;)
