Agreed. However, I could imagine distrowatch being a little biased towards 
popularity, and the amount of Windows migrations (which is why Ubuntu and Mint 
top the list, even though I most likely wouldn't use either one). However, as 
you mention, it's all preference.

Great points! I still haven't been able to sit down and read that entire LFS 
book (its a lot to take in), but I'll keep trying and hopefully some day build 
my own! ;)

Regards,
Nick
