Portal has a lot of features, including voting system, free IT (security too) articles and more. If you want to promote your distribution, you can register it and submit news which appear on the main site automatically. The readers can also submit news without login - it requires moderator's acceptance. Top Ten charts will be published in IT magazines (PHP Solutions, Linux+, en.hakin9.org, SDJ) every month. If you're looking for Linux that fits you perfectly - you'll find it on DistroRankings.com!

Informative

Really informative. Not even the name of the website nor a URL was given.
Now it does. :)
I messed up and forgot to put the link in. And I accidentally un-posted it too

Its a twofer!

:-(
So what do they have that's different than distrowatch? Doesn't really look that great.

An inferrior distrowatch? Yep.
Is it me, or is it slower than molasses? I just visited the site, and boy it takes ages to load!
Not lightning, but it loads fine here.
Thanks. Maybe I just caught 'em when they were getting hit heavily or something. I admit I don't care much for the look.

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.
