As a public service announcement.
'The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics are a light-hearted way of measuring interest in Linux distributions and other free operating systems among the visitors of this website.

They simply show the number of times a distribution page on DistroWatch was accessed each day, nothing more.'[1]
