It's fascinating how all these commercial distributions want to be called a community distro.
Perhaps marketing in Linux is not dead.

Seems to me that the worst of these here is the Canonical-M$'s flagship product, Baboontu. Remember all that brouhaha around March 9-10 of this year about the Canonical bigshots' notorious "Community-Avoidance" decisions(M$) and PR-spin(JBocan) ??!!

@linux4567,
By that definition, wouldn't Linux MInt be a non0community distribution. It hires developers. So it's not completely run by a community of volunteers.
I think the expansion of Linux Mint and their decision to expand with paid developers was a very good thing.

A real community distro is run completely by a community of volunteers who do all the work and make all the decisions without influence from any commercial entity.
