Please read http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20060814
You will see that the site has been established by Aurox when the "coincidentally" accused distrowatch of ignoring their release announcements. I've checked the site out back then, found it's not worth the bother. Now, I don't know much about Aurox, but distrowatch at least is an independent site whereas distrorankings isn't. I'll leave it up to you to draw any conclusions. |

Agreed. Why is it that some always feel the need to copy something which already does what it's supposed to do? That site sucks, sorry. |

I don't think many of us bookmarked it :) |

I know I didn't. I'll stick with distrowatch. Who cares about ranking them. If they work for you, they're number 1 right? |

Ladislav Bodnar has worked long and hard to make Distrowatch a virtual cornerstone of the Linux and BSD communities. Well organized, timely, a great resource... Really, a benchmark for that kind of site. It's gonna take quite an effort to top it. |
