Distribution Statistics - Independence |
| Introduction |
|---|
| The number of distributions in this site's database is quite impressive -- until you realise that the majority of them is nothing but modified versions of Debian GNU/Linux or Fedora Core/Red Hat Linux. In some cases these modified distributions can be justified; a distribution offering a better localisation support for a language-specific market is a good example. Some distributions, such as Mandrakelinux, Conectiva and PLD were originally based on Red Hat, although they have since developed into distributions in their own rights and there are now other distributions based on them. As for SUSE, a reader has pointed out that it was originally based on a German distribution called Jurix, which is no longer maintained. Some distributions are listed twice in the table - this is the case of those distributions that descended from a parent which itself is based on another parent (many Knoppix-based distributions are therefore listed under both Debian and Knoppix). Alphabetical list: Damn Small Linux • Debian GNU/Linux • Fedora Core • FreeBSD • Gentoo Linux • Knoppix • Kurumin Linux • Linux From Scratch • Mandrakelinux • Morphix • Red Hat Enterprise Linux • Slackware Linux • SUSE LINUX • Other distributions. |
