Another thought -

Is there any reason we can't have a link on this page saying, "see other
distributions using GNOME", where we have a separate page and add anyone
who asks or makes sense to add?

Also, we should think about adding Pandora as another footnote, saying
that GNOME 3 is available on a fully free distribution there, because that
represents a slightly different ideological issue (while not meeting our
criteria for inclusion in general, it fills a niche that a real subset of
our users may be interested in knowing about).
