   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! ;)
