Anyone know what the deal with linuxiso.org is?


What the title says. It used to be my second favorite Linux site (next to here of course) because it made a good gateway to scores of different flavors, with a little bit of info about each one present so I wouldn't have to scour the web to see what's new. But now when I go there all there is is a little blurb about a hardware failure and they'll be back soon. Anyone heard anything about just when "soon" might be or just what went wrong?

In early 2003 I was a huge fan of linuxiso.org, and used it (and recommended it) as a first rate site to find some of the most popular distros. For the past year or so though (give or take) the site apparently has not been maintained, and I believe that the site owners either walked away from it or transferred control to someone else. Either way though, it no longer references the most current release of many distros (eg, I believe the SuSE links are for v9.3, which is two releases behind the current release) and no longer seems to be maintained. That's only my personal observation, not a statement of fact, but I'd recommend using LQ ISO Just my own opinion
