Comparison of Linux distributions :
"The many Linux distributions differ for various reasons including technical, organizational, and philosophical.
Technical variations include support for different hardware devices and systems or software package configurations. Organizational differences may be motivated by historical reasons. Philosophical differences may include what software is considered easier to use. Other criteria include security, including how quickly security upgrades are available; ease of package management; and number of binary packages available."
