Overview of the ten major Linux distributions

Maybe you are like me, thinking why there are so many linux distributions out there and what the differences between them are. It´s hard to make a selection, there are hundreds of distributions out there and all seem to serve a purpose. This could have been the intention of the guys who wrote the overview of the ten major linux distributions.

Lets see, we have short reviews of Debian, Slackware, Fedora, Mandravia, Suse, Ubuntu, Knoppix, Gentoo, Mepis and Xandros. Every distribution is summarised with cons and pros for the particular distribution and every review of course features a link to the distributions homepage. This is of course an opinion based review and people will probably dislike what is being said. Just look at the comments and the remarks of the users and you know what I mean.
