Pretty impressive list...

The only Linux specific forum that isn't there that I have used is for Frugalware (but not many people use it) - https://forums.frugalware.org/

There's a forum for almost every distro out there. Off the top of my head, your missing aptosid, PCLinuxOS, Arch, Slackware, Wolvix, Kannotix, Mepis...

If you're not looking just for forums but for resources, throw DistroWatch up there too. The comment section for DistroWatch Weekly often gets pretty lively.

Slackware is using linuxquestions.org as there "official" forum...

@not found, thanks. Looks like I missed that he had Arch on there already, too, and I typed Kannotix when I meant Knoppix.

The list omits the most important one. The Official ubuntu support forum ( with 1,497,795 members)....
