Yes ! It may be a little less readable, but if everyone keeps the  
"GNU/Linux" at start, it should not be a problem.

I'm okay with that, it was just to be sure to keep the good ratio  
between needed informations and quantity of informations. If you  
think it's needed, it should appear.

I definitely agree with you to keep the "simple stupid" table format  
instead of a complex one that would certainly lead to an unmaintained  
wiki page.
As a workaround, why not create a table for each version, with the  
version number in a heading ?

So, then i'll wait for your update to see what you have in mind. Feel  
free to remind me if it seems that i forgot.
