Where on the Web can I find a comprehensive list of rolling-release Linux distros

distribution-choicedistributions

Feel free to post any less-well-known rolling distros, but I'm really looking for a comprehensive list. I'm thinking of creating a Wikipedia page "List of rolling-release Linux distributions". If there's already a good list somewhere then would help produce a draft of the Wikipedia page. If there isn't such a list on the Web it highlights the need of gathering that information on a site where most people would look for it.

Wikipedia seemed to me like the obvious choice but suggestions of a better site [preferably, but not necessarily, a wiki] are welcome.

Please don't post Dev.-branches: eg Fedora-Rawhide, Mandriva-Cooker, OpenSuSE-Factory etc.

Also, please don't post the following rolling-distros as I'm already aware of them: Aptosid, LMDE, AnitX; OpenSuSE-Tumbleweed; Yoper; Foresight; PCLinuxOS; Unity; Arch, ArchBang, Chakra, Kahel; Gentoo & Sabayon; Lunar, Sorcerer, SourceMage.

If any I've mentioned aren't rolling do correct me. I know some might not call AntiX & LMDE rolling as Debian-Testing "cycles". I also know PCLOS & Sabayon can need to be reinstalled (eg when PCLOS re-forks the Mandriva base).

Here's what I use to get information about Linux and BSD distributions: http://distrowatch.com/

Go to the Their search, while great, doesn't have a "rolling-release" option. I would suggest searching by the most recent Linux kernel version by selecting "linux" under their package search. The most recent version of any package is shown in parenthesis.

Searching for linux 2.6.36.2 gave the following:

Arch Linux: current

Chakra GNU/Linux: 0.4-alpha2

Gentoo Linux: unstable, stable

Linux From Scratch: unstable

Lunar Linux: moonbase

Mandriva Linux: cooker

Parted Magic: 5.8

PLD Linux Distribution: 3.0

Sorcerer: grimoire

T2 SDE: snapshot

Zenwalk Linux: 7.0-alpha
