[lsb-discuss] LSB Distribution Status for 3.2 and 4.0

I am in the process of updating a new version of this page on the LDN site (
http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/lsb/certified/distributions). My version,
however, is based on the page mentioned below. I found a table (
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/navigator/browse/distr.php) on the Database
Navigator site, which I believe is more up to date. However, it does not
show LSB version information. Can someone fill in the blanks, especially on
the newer distribution versions?

I can then maintain this chart over on LDN.

Thanks,
Brian
