Seaching for Porteus with google, I found that we are now on Softopedia:
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/O ... 4578.shtml

Citation:
Porteus is based on the Linux Live Scripts which have been heavily modified by Chief maintainer Fanthom for a much faster booting and shutdown time. ...

Not bad!

In this thread, show these links where Porteus will be made famous.

Good start. More to come.

I'd like to keep a marketing record so anything you find like this please post. So far we have:
linux.sofpedia.com
twitter
torrent

In the pipeline:
podcast - http://www.frostbitemedia.org
youtube - video tutorials & exhibits
Linux magazine - any of them

Also if anyone thinks of any other marketing avenues let me know. Having a popular distro starts with getting the name out.

Great idea feng. Anyone with time can take examples from the website documents. Having a complete and informative wiki page is very useful. Also very good for marketing as wiki is prevalent in searches.

We presently appear in wikipedia under slax as a fork. To get porteus with the search function of wikipedia you need to put porteus fork. At least for now.

All of these are secondary IMHO. Porteus should appear in http://distrowatch.com . That's the benchmark for all new distros :wink:

I was looking for it on distrowatch yesterday. It shows up on their waiting list, added as of 1/15/2011, and links to porteus.org. Of course, it's not exactly easy to find! So, I'm looking forward to their first review, hopefully of v1.0!
