the top 4 or 5 are well worth using as well.

1 Mint 3840<
2 Mageia 2109<
3 Ubuntu 2009=
4 Debian 1626>

I have noticed that Ubuntu stays the same while others go up and down. I switched to Ubuntu about 3 years ago from using FreeBSD. Yea that's a big change and kind of a sell out for someone who started with Redhat and Turbo back in 95. My use of winsux was based on gaming and html work and now that the PS3 type game boxes do such a great job (including Netflix) I have no need for winsux and its continual os upgrades although I'd hardly call it an upgrade now. I do html work for 6 websites and have everything I need to do that with Ubuntu as the platform os.
