Restored article with minor modifications (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oz_Linux). Keep it simple! External link to credible source included; I'll research more tomorrow.
If it goes up for deletion again, I'll be there to fight it, as will many Ubuntu Forums users for sure.

ThinkBuntu I think you very much for your effort and work. It is much appreciated.
Please keep in mind that Oz Linux is now known as Oz Enterprise.
Also some sub-developments of Oz Enterprise are Oz Rx, Oz Live (KDE) and Oz Live (GNOME).
A sister development of "Linux Nirvana" has also been released, information on these Linux distros are all available at The CafeLinux Forum.

Also in development are new websites for Oz Enterprise and Linux Nirvana
http://www.ozenterprise.com/
http://www.linuxnirvana.com/

Page moved to Oz Enterprise. I think that the clincher for this distro, to ensure that it's never erased, would be to show up at some point on DW. You can host Oz Enterprise on my server if you want...50GB of space, with about 2MB used! The "hosted on Yahoo" tag is sorta lame, to tell you the truth. ISOs will have to be mirrored, but my account allows for unlimited domains, so...

I will keep your offer in mind and do appreciate it.
Keep in mind that "hosted by Yahoo" tags are only temporary until I find a permanent host, I just used them to acquire the domain names, in the middle of the night I often do that instead of waiting to call a friend. I waited once and the bots got the domain.

Got it. If it's already covered, that's better. Also, I built the rBuilder page and linked Oz to both rBuilder and rPath. The more places it's linked, the better chance that it goes untouched. Also, by being located at Enterprise, the wicked delete-happy wikipedians may overlook it. Like playing dead while the article rises from the ashes :^)

Well ThinkBuntu, Thanks for the help but it looks like Wikipedia doesn't like Linux. Well at least Oz. The article has been deleted
I wonder when they will start shutting down other Linux articles?
Perhaps we should start a legitimate online encyclopedia?

Their reasons for deletion don't make sense. I wonder if they checked the modified page that addressed their concerns before deleting it again. Obviously not... sigh

We've got our foot in the door: "If a short stub was deleted for lack of content, and you wish to create a useful article on the same subject, you can be bold and do so."
I'll work the article out of their silly bureaucracy. I'm moving the article to Deletion Review, and we'll see how it goes from there. Watch this thread, because I may need Ubuntuers to give us keep votes.

Thanks for the effort ThinkBuntu, I have in the mean time been working on re-routing the websites and now have them hosted on the CafeLinux.org servers....
I have downloaded two joomla themes for Oz Enterprise and Linux Nirvana, take a look, if you would still like to help in the web development portion of Oz Enterprise &/or Linux Nirvana I would greatly appreciate the help.
take a look so far:
http://OzEnterprise.com/
http://OzEnterprise.org/
http://OzEnterprise.net/
http://LinuxNirvana.com/
http://LinuxNirvana.org/
http://LinuxNirvana.net/
Anyway they are just templates the headers have to be customized and content added, but it is a start.
For all my friends here at ubuntuforums.org, I would greatly appreciate any help in ThinkBuntu's effort to preserve the Oz Enterprise Linux article.
I appreciate all that ThinkBuntu has done, he has decided to do this all on his own free will, and has confirmed my faith in Open Source and Linux. This Wikipedia thing seems quite odd to me I just hope that the article gets reinstated. For now I have a massive amount of work to do. I plan to make Oz Enterprise and it's derivatives, along with "Linux Nirvana" a lifelong endeavor.
I plan to issue regular releases at least every 9 months, and sometimes sooner. I plan to remain committed and I welcome any help I can get.
CafeLinux.org will continue to remain the hub for my efforts and The Free University at CafeLinux.org is another life long dream I will pursue. A free online University for all the world.
