SF.net vs Distrowatch

[ratler at lunar-linux.org]

I think it's good that we are alerted about new updates, I'm not sure 
delaying the information as suggested by sofar is that great.

But personally I like the brief update info that distrowatch gives. I 
don't really need to know where to grab it. Both really have pros and 
cons. But if you manage to filter out what you mentioned it would be 
really great :)
