The 2011 Linux Distro Scorecard

“Which distribution is the best? None of them, or all of them.
It’s really about what meets your needs. Some people want a
distribution that’s really easy to use, and don’t care much about
licensing. Some people choose a distribution because of the
licensing, and ease of use isn’t really that important. You might
only want to look at distributions that have KDE or GNOME as a
desktop.

“It’s sort of like picking a restaurant, what makes one person
happy is going to be a really bad experience for another person. I
like spicy food, other folks can’t handle it or just don’t like it.
What we’re doing here is letting you have a peek at what’s on the
menu so you can decide where you’d like to start.”
