They're the only place to aggregate virtually all distros in existence. And their rankings (hits on their webpages) correlate well with the most popular distros in use, as reported in user surveys. Nearly 90% of Linux users choose 1 of 6 distros: Ubuntu, Arch, Mint, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 2014: "Which version of Linux do you use?" http://opensource.com/life/14/1/which-version-linux-do-you-use Sep 2014: "WHAT LINUX DISTRO DO YOU USE EVERY DAY?" http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/21/6661393/tell-me-why-you-use-linux-everyday Ongoing since Jan 2013 http://pollmill.com/f/what-is-you-main-linux-distro-n7mgahm/answers.html ---------------------------------------------------------------- * 5 of the 6 are the Top 5 at distrowatch * all but Arch are point-click-drool to install, and they boot to a GUI So yeah, "GNU/Linux caters to the professional elite basement-dweller" > But there is no "it" here.

Every bit of that 'noticeably faster' is wiped out the first time you waste 15-30 minutes downloading and configuring and compiling a new kernel. >> There's NOTHING they would like more than to >> censor us out of this stinkpit. >> > > Microsoft shills should be more than censored.
