I was curious to see whether there's a reference for "target audience" so I did two Google searches: Google: compare Linux distributions had two good responses, but little on "target audience": A Linux Distribution Comparison Matrix www.devx.com/opensource/Article/30781 Comparison of Linux distributions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions Google: target audience for Linux distributions had many interesting responses Linus Torvald's O'Reilly interview comments were interesting, but not very inclusive http://news.oreilly.com/2008/07/linux-torvalds-on-linux-distri.html Linux-distribution - SWiK (good, but short notes) http://swik.net/Linux-distribution I got tired of looking for better "target audience" characterizations, but found interesting tidbits and more questions to ask. 1) does MythTV "do better" in the MythDora distro than MythTV does in Ubuntu? a) what is "better"? b) is support for the Adaptec AVC-3610 (or other tuners, etc) any better in MythDora than MythTV itself? 2) what distro is "best" for scientific or engineering desktop applications? Anything "better" than Ubuntu for this? Anybody doing or interested in Verilog-AMS or VHDL-AMS or optical design? Chuck
