This article has been submitted for review by the Wikinews community. The review period is currently a minimum of 8 hours for regular articles and 4 hours for urgent stories. An article needs to find consensus - no objections - in the following categories in order to be accepted for publication. See also Wikinews:Article stages#Review for information on what constitutes a valid objection.

Is the article neutral?

All factual claims need to be attributed or sourced. On-topic information which is relevant to the article should be added. Off-topic information should NOT be added to "balance out" an article.

I think there's no need to add a Linux/Windows background debate here, so given that it just reports the facts on this particular distribution, I believe it is reasonably neutral.--Eloquence 17:07, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Is the article accurate and have sources been cited?

All facts should be verifiable. Factual claims which are attributed to a person or group, but considered false by another person or group can remain in the article as long as the controversy is accurately represented.

I've briefly checked the press release, but someone who speaks the language should look over it again.--Eloquence 17:07, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I am a Brazilian, Portuguese speaker. Portuguese I can guarantee. It seems ok.--[user:carlosar|carlosar] 21:26, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Is the article legal?

Does the article violate any laws of the state of Florida in the United States? Specifically, does it violate other people's copyright, in text or images? Please make sure that no images have been directly copied from a non-free source without permission, and that any brief text quoted from a non-free source is attributed accurately.

No issues I can see.--Eloquence 17:07, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Does the article comply with our policies and guidelines?

No issues I can see.--Eloquence 17:07, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Is the article comprehensive?

Relevant information on the topic should be included, while keeping in mind timeliness. Given that an almost infinite amount can be said about any topic, objections in this category carry less weight than those in other categories.

General comments

I'm not sure what this means: "separate configurations personalized of xfconfig for kernel". I've also taken out the detailed programs list with version numbers, as it is redundant to the intro paragraph. The version numbers could be added there.--Eloquence

Please add a date to the story to comply with the style guide.--Eloquence

I think it is ok now. Maybe check the grammar. --carlosar

A one paragraph summary of what Linux is might be helpful.--Eloquence 17:07, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I have put one. Also there is a link to Linux in Wikipedia. --carlosar 21:26, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Check English again

Please, someone check the English and if the article is comprehensive.--carlosar 22:00 16 Nov 2004(UTC)
