When stuff like this happens it's really easy to get involved and voice your opinion by switching gears, that is the beauty of open source.

Ubuntu Forks.

I know this could go on, but I think Debian should be mentioned. The Ubuntu team themselves refer to it as "the rock upon which Ubuntu is built."

Debian is a great distribution. In fact, my first Linux was a Debian and I'm still running it on the server. On the desktop I'm using Fedora though - for no obvious reasons. It's just the one I stopped with when I was trying out distros.


it's also the rock most of websites are sitting on.


Sabayon is based on Gentoo, should be in the Other Distro's section.
