Good link. I especially like this quote by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols.
{QUOTE-> "Perhaps the most surprising result of our survey was that PCLinuxOS showed so poorly. On DistroWatch, PCLinuxOS has been at the top of the site's page hit ranking for the last 30 days. Frankly, we're not sure why this popular, easy-to-use community distribution didn't do better. The site supporting it had recently had problems, but that problem's long been history. Perhaps, it's simply that unlike the other popular community distributions -- Ubuntu, openSUSE, and Fedora -- PCLinuxOS doesn't have corporate backing. Canonical, Novell, and Red Hat all provide support and hardware partnerships for their community distributions that PCLinuxOS can't match." <-QUOTE}
Besides liking PCLOS the OS better than Ubuntu. Ime/o PCLOS forum & members are more helpful. And I'm not running from one billionaires OS to another billionaires OS. ;D I ran from the jungle of M$ corporate greed to a cheerful comunity of friends. :)

So PCLOS passed Ubuntu :) It was in 12th when I used it.

Congrats to Tex though he has said he never took much stock in the DW ratings.
