About DistroWatch |
|
The DistroWatch web site was first published on 31 May 2001. The concept started as a very simple table comprising of 5 major distributions and the chart only compared a few features (price, version, release date) and a few package versions (Linux kernel, KDE, GNOME, XFree86, Apache). In trying to make it slightly more comprehensive and useful, more distributions, features and packages were added until the table reached a fairly reasonable state in terms of information provided. At that stage, the table was moved from a spreadsheet into an HTML document and it was shared with the Linux community worldwide.
DistroWatch.com is a product of Unsigned Integer Limited. Over the years many people have helped to build and expand the site, notably Ladislav Bodnar (founder), Dr Zhu Wen Tao, Jesse Smith, Robert Storey, Caitlyn Martin and Susan Linton, to mention the most active ones.
