Do we even need that many distributions? What's the value proposition for all those hundreds of Linux distros? That is a valid point, and why I usually tell people to just use Ubuntu if they're not sure. The value proposition is that different people are doing different things, and even people doing the same thing sometimes like to do it different ways. I wish that the barrier to entry to making a Linux distro was higher. People would have to put more thought and effort into it and the overall quality would be higher. I believe that less competition equals lower quality.
