to repeat, the originally referenced page is NOT a page of certified distributions. It's a non-authoritative discussion of the status of various distributions that might be interesting to various people, including a number that will never certify.
I wouldn't use the Navigator for authoritative information, as it's only updated "periodically". For certified distributions, go directly to the certification system.

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 As such, it's now substantially out of date, missing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.
