"Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system that we like to
refer to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize the ideals of the Free Software
movement.

As stated diring registrations, we are unable to host distributions.
We can host parts of your project, a package manager, scripts used
to build the distro, but not the whole thing.

If you want to do this, please re-submit those parts of your project.
