Linux Distribution Statistics

Currently, there are a total of 156 Linux distributions in the database. Of these distributions, 21 have been officially discontinued, or the distribution's web site (or product information) simply disappeared, or became inactive (i.e haven't released a new version in over 2 years and their web sites don't give indication of work in progress). These are: Blue Point, BYO, Caldera/SCO, Corel, Happy, HP Secure, JBLinux, Kondara, LinuxPPC, LRs, Luminux, Madeinlinux, Merdeka, Neat, Progeny, Red Office, Spectra, Stampede, Storm, Ututo and Virtual). These distributions will not be included in the statistics that follow. That gives us a total of 135 Linux distributions for which facts and figures have been compiled.
