14 is indeed an . . . odd number for them to pick. Looks almost like they just grabbed the top 14 from distrowatch. My top 10 list is: 1. MEPIS 2. PCLinuxOS

14 is indeed an . . . odd number for them to pick. Looks almost like they just grabbed the top 14 from distrowatch. My top 10 list is: 1. MEPIS 2. PCLinuxOS 3. Kubuntu 4. Linux Mint 5. Fedora 6. Debian (would be higher on the list, but for that annoying "Iceweasel" thing) 7. Dream Linux 8. Slax 9. Gentoo 10. Sabayon Though the list changes often. RE the discussion about having lots of choices . . . yes for some it can be overwhelming, but not everyone is an idiot. That whole notion needs to evaporate already, especially as that generation which has essentially "grown up" with lots of technology, innovation, gadgets and more enters the workforce in full. Of course there are still idiots, but not with as great frequency as less-technical generations past. When attempting to explain my software obsession / obsession for choice in OSS / to fellow females who aren't hardcore techs, I like to make an analogy to shopping for clothes, which most females relate to well. Some females like to populate a closet full of fancy clothes; I like to fill my website -- http://oss.zentu.net http://oss.zentu.net -- have my computers be full of interesting software. Or something like that. Analogy, close enough! :)
