Ready to be published? LXer is read by around 350,000 individuals each month, and is an excellent place for you to publish your ideas, thoughts, reviews, complaints, etc. Do you have something to say to the Linux community?
Finding a quick solution for your problems in any distribution is the main reason to make you rely on it. Therefore, the major distributions have many ways to provide support to their users. Among them, IRC support provides a way to communicate quickly and more interactively with users. In this article, I will make a comparison between the popular linux distributions in IRC support. I am not going to talk about how many questions have been answered, or how helpful the answers are; instead, I will focus in two things: how many nicknames each time are in the channel and the channel activity.
Quoting:Finding a quick solution for your problems in any distribution is the main reason to make you rely on it.
For me, the important thing is to not have problems, not to quickly resolve problems as they arise.
WRT the comparison, there needs to be an adjustment for the number of new Linux users, how long it's been since a release, and what other documentation is available. No measure is perfect, but what are we to make of this particular set of numbers?

Because obviously it's so easy to use and problem-free that its IRC support channel is mostly empty. ;)
