Just to summarize, the following pages have been mentioned that have some
relation to distributions. I put my comment for each of them:
1. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/lsb-cert/productdir.php?by_lsb -
this is the main official list of LSB Certified Distributions (LSB Product
Directory) that is automatically updated by the LSB Online Certification
System as soon as a new certification is competed.
2. LDN is mirroring this official page at
http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/lsb/certified/distributions. BTW, Brian, I
would force the Platform and LSB Version filters to <All> by default at this
page.
3. http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/LSB_Distribution_Status - as Mats
perfectly explained this is an obsolete page manually maintained in the past
that described old status of LSB distribution certifications. IMHO, it
should be removed (and url redirected to the p.1).
4. http://www.linuxfoundation.org/navigator/browse/distr.php - this
page in the LSB Navigator just lists all Linux distributions that have been
analyzed by the LF. This list does NOT correspond to LSB certification
status and contains many non-LSB distributions. It is this list that the
Linux Application Checker uses to analyze compatibility of applications
with.
As for LSB 3.2 certified distributions, then some certifications are in
progress now. However, as far as I know, no distros have been officially
certified to 3.2 yet though many of them are compatible de-facto. I believe
the LF is working with distro vendors on certifying their products to LSB
3.2.
Vladimir.

Subject: Re: [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

I replied privately, but to summarize:
that page is someone's effort to informally comment on the
status of various distributions beyond just a list of
what's certified (and does include a link to the certification
page). As such, it's now substantially out of date, missing
the last three releases of the community distributions Fedora,
Ubuntu and OpenSUSE, and three or four of Mandriva. So it's probably
approaching two years old.
The page should probably be removed unless someone wants to
undertake maintaining it.
