I suggest adding in the beginner's guides the recommended version for each supported build host system distribution.

Hi, 

Let me make sure I understand this issue... Are you saying we should create a list that shows the recommended Yocto Project version (or release) for each supported distribution?  If so, my understanding is that the version of the YP used should be the latest, which we instruct the user to use.  

If, the issue is providing a list of supported distributions in the Quick Start then that is already covered in the Yocto Project Quick Start here - http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.0/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#the-linux-distro.  Note that there are general guidelines on which distributions support the release of YP and then a linked reference is present should the reader wish to see a detailed list.

I need to know exactly what the request is here.   

Thanks, 
Scott

Scott is right, this is covered already.

Ross, 

Thanks for the confirmation.  I am setting the doc flag to "No" as it does not affect the docs.
