The most of the best and the market dominant Linux distributions have one in thing in common - they have strong commercial support behind them. This applies to Ubuntu (Canonical), Fedora (RedHat), openSUSE (Novell). Debian is an exception as it is driven by a major non-profit organization. On the other hand, every now and then an interesting smaller distribution comes up and is able to attract major audiences and gain an active user group. Such distributions include SimplyMEPIS, PCLinuxOS and the LinuxMint.
