Distrowatch -- If it didn't already exist, somebody would have to invent it

01/22/2008

How Distrowatch's Ladislav Bodner does what he does is a complete mystery to me. Like LXer, the organization, leanness and general programming genius behind the Web site itself makes Distrowatch an invaluable resource not just for what's currently happening with just about every version of Linux and BSD, but also for the packages and people that go into making up the many hundreds of operating-system software distributions that Distrowatch tracks on a daily basis.

Meet the Distro guy

There's no dearth of Linux distributions. This isn't the first time I've said this. Neither will it be the last. But why the chaos? Why are there more failed distributions than successful ones? Ask the distro guy, Ladislav Bodnar, maintainer of DistroWatch.com. Excuse me if the above sounds like those 15-second commercials during super bowl. As a Linux journalist, DistroWatch is an important tool of my trade. For over half a decade the website has been keeping track of every distribution related activity. And like the many distros it lists, DistroWatch is a one-man show. From its humble beginnings, Bodnar has turned DistroWatch into the most comprehensive, and respected, directory of Linux distributions, it is today.

This week's Distrowatch Weekly is PACKED with news

01/11/2008  
Relevance: 7.29
There are quite a few good Web sites for free-software users, but when it comes to sheer volume and organization, Distrowatch tops them all. I don't know how Ladislav Bodner does it. He tracks many hundred Linux and BSD distributions, plus the applications that go into them. I hope he's making a mint, because otherwise there's little to no justice in the world. Anyhow, the latest edition of Distrowatch Weekly is bigger than usual -- there's a lot going on in the Linux and BSD world.

DistroWatch publishes top 10 distros list

04/27/2007  
Relevance: 7.22
DistroWatch.com, for years a staple of the Linux information scene for its coverage of distribution development, today posted a new"Top Ten Distributions" page. The list provides a few paragraphs of general information and history for each distro, plus a brief list of fast facts. The site was careful to indicate that its selections are"loosely listed in order of popularity on DistroWatch, which is NOT an indication of their market share or quality."

Gone But Not Forgotten: Five Great Linux Distributions That Did Not Survive (DistroWatch Weekkly #311)

07/13/2009  
Relevance: 7.19
If you looked at DistroWatch for a typical day five or six years ago you'd see a lot of familiar Linux distributions with announcements. You also would likely see some names that would be unfamiliar if you are relatively new to Linux. Currently the DistroWatch database contains 278 discontinued distributions and 36 more that are listed as dormant. Of these 314 distributions and countless others that never were listed on DistroWatch at all there are many which are probably best forgotten. There are others which were promising but for one reason or another were abandoned. A smaller number were truly exceptional but still failed to survive. This week I decided to wax nostalgic and look at five that seemed special to me at one time or another. Obviously this list is based on my personal experience. If you've been around Linux for a long time you might have a list of your own.
