Tony,

In answer to your earlier question, George has confirmed XSCE/IIAB 6.2
installs on CentOS 7.3, but does not want to promote this widely until
testing gets substantially more serious.  Testing has progressed further on
Debian 8.6 / 8.7.1 and Raspbian Pixel / Lite to date.  Hopefully you, Anish
and Satellit can pushon CentOS harder this month or soon?

Josh,

Profound thanks for updating/overhauling the above doc (
https://github.com/XSCE/xsce/wiki/XSCE-Platforms) until all OS's are
covered.  Even if our support for the Apple Watch OS has been delayed until
April 1, which I guarantee is used by celebrities who visit refugee camps,
so must not be neglected...but you'll let us know the final verdict as
owner of this document ;-)
