Yes, way too many distros.

I like Distrowatch search better.
But it is an interesting piece of work.
Do you think the guy actually ran them all, or just copied the screens?

Maybe some ran, some copied. But it is possible that he ran them all, probably it would be even faster than finding all the screens on the internet

I actually try a couple a week. Real installs. Not this Virtual toilet nonsense.
Never knew the numbers. 406 ! WOW!
398.77 are garbage.

Kinda like rubbing a bottle on the beach. What mostly comes out is smelly sand.
Just burned a disk of Deepin. Wanting to try the multimedia goodies. I don't have my hopes up.
Too bad disks don't decompose well. The "schtuff' I use in my gardens are kinda smelly.

@ murdock - I don't do nearly as many installations as you do, but I've taken to using flash drives (with UNetbootin) instead of disks. Much faster for booting into a live session, and so far I haven't run into any problems installing from them.

Latest "distros" of interest here:

I took a look at a Crunchbang live session for the first time. They've got a development release in the works, but I looked at Crunchbang 10 "Statler" 20120207. Very nice. I didn't install it because I already use Debian Stable and SalineOS, etc., and I already use Openbox in another distro.

And, I installed Sabayon 9 (KDE). Also very nice. Kind of a departure for me because I've never run anything that wasn't .deb or .rpm. Hopefully I can keep this "rolling-release" distro going for a long time. After an upgrade this weekend, they're at KDE 4.8.4.

I did this, too, today. I agree it is very nice. It does the hard stuff for you. I like that.

I've been trying a lot of KDE lately for some reason. Last week I installed Pardus and used it for several days. Another beautiful system. Unfortunately not being kept up much anymore.

I always meant to try Pardus but never got around to it.

Here, the KDE spins of Sabayon 9, Fedora 17, and openSUSE 12.1 all look great.

You might also want to look at Linux Mint 13 KDE, due out for final release any day now. I've been running the RC for several weeks and it strikes me as a big improvement over the previous version. Works great, looks great. There's a person in the LM forum who's been adapting LM 13 to KDE on Debian. I'm not sure how it all happens, but I tested his system for him for a couple of weeks. It worked beautifully. Seems like a good time for KDE all around. I'm actually more of an LXDE, Xfce regular user, but KDE seems quite appealing to me.

The Perfect Linux Distribution

So you've decided to give this Linux thing a try. Which Linux distribution should you choose? Do you want...

Something extremely stable, such as Debian or a Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone?
Something cutting-edge, such as Arch, Debian Sid, or Fedora Rawhide?
Something extremely customizable, such as Gentoo or LinuxFromScratch?
Something minimal, such as Tinycore or SliTaz?
Something user-friendly, such as Mint?
Something popular with lots of software developed with it in mind, such as Ubuntu?

Which features are important, and which are you willing to give up? If you want (almost1) everything - stable and cutting edge, customizable and minimal, with access to popular-distro-only packages - Bedrock Linux is the Linux distribution for you.

1Well, everything except for user-friendly. At the moment, Bedrock Linux can not honestly be considered "user-friendly."

Way beyond my abilities but interesting.

I wonder what happened to distrowatch's top 100 list. Saline has been holding at about #83 for the past year and now all of a sudden its off the list and lots of distros have drastically changed rankings. !

Thanks, Bob.
Forgot about More Statistics.

12 months shows SalineOS at Nº83.
"SalineOS - Because speed and stability matter"

Reverso: Main Entry: stable [stey-buhl] Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: constant, fixed; resistant

Synonyms: abiding, anchored, balanced, brick-wall, calm, deep-rooted, durable, enduring, equable, established, even, fast, firm, immutable, invariable, lasting, nailed, perdurable, permanent, poised, reliable, resolute, safe, secure, set, set in stone, solid, solid as a rock, sound, stabile, stalwart, stationary, staunch, staying put, steadfast, steady, stout, strong, sturdy, substantial, sure, together, tough, unalterable, unchangeable, unfluctuating, uniform, unvarying, unwavering, well-built, well-founded

I find "fast" as a synonym but don't find exciting, interesting, delightful, new, cutting-edge, and similar in that group.

Guess we need to focus more on "speed and stability" to promote SalineOS.
Or just remember that great doesn't always mean the most successful.

SalineOS is still the best distro out there. No matter what language you write it in. I know, I've tried pretty much all and so have some of our Forum members.
