I am somewhat surprised with the number of Linux distributions with Debian roots. A total of 129. This list doesn’t even include all the Ubuntu variations like Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, etc. I am using Linux Mint and it’s not even on the list. So here’s the list of 129 distributions courtesy of Distro Watch:

I just peeked at Ubuntu.com, 10.04 beta 1 looks really good!
It’s a lot – granted. But you have forgotten to weed out the discontinued distros like Zen, Libranet and Linspire and more.
Not sure what your message is though, so it might be on purpose?

You missed CrunchBang, which has just ditched Ubuntu for pure Debian.
Thanks for the info. I’ll take a look a Crunchbang.
