CentOS - Aug 2006 - CentOS needs some love at DistroRankings.com

Guys,

CentOS is not doing very well at this ranking site:

http://www.distrorankings.com/

We need some good foo there, so if you like CentOS, go there and rank
us ...

{If you don't like CentOS then you are getting sleepy .... sleepy .....
You will not remember anything you read in this message}

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Hey Johnny:

I gave my good foo and i would like to thank the developers and 
maintainers of CentOS.  You perform a marvelous service to the Linux 
community at large and your efforts go unheralded.  This includes 
allowing OT discussions on the mail list such as the current OT: 
internal imap server thread.  Great discussion going on there with a lot 
of useful information that could of easily been stopped by over zealous 
moderators.

Thank again,

Ed

Johnny,

Been there, voted that :), although I voted in the past too.

However, CentOS is:
-- Distrorankings: #13
-- Distrowatch 6m: #14
-- Distrowatch 30d: #14

Pretty much the same, and this is not bad, given the public who's visiting
this kinda sites is:
-- people in quest of the 'latest and greatest' (KDE5 if possible :));
-- people happy with one-man kitchen-baked distros (MEPIS, etc.);
-- people unaware what means a business-oriented approach (they can reinstall
every day and they don't have critical data, nor necessary uptime).

Thanks for your good work!
(the said) B?ranger

For those of us who don't have time to wade through the site, is 1 good 
or is 10 good?  It's not apparent (at least not to me) which end of the 
scale is considered good.

Cheers,

Only a 6% spread across the top 10. And Slackware at the top.
It must be a fluke... somebody voted more than once ... I demand a recount!

You hope everybody uses it, and
you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

I just tried to add some love from home,
but can't get to that site now.  Did we
crash it?

I am new to CentOS.  Have been running it on a test machine for about 3 
weeks now.  And I already like it, so poured lot of love on the ranking 
site.  Look, Ma, CentOS is on top of the world.

Honestly, I had never heard of the name CentOS until March this year 
when I also learned about the little city Tuttle.... The fact that the 
person behind the project is so patient made me feel this is the distro 
to use.  Having used RedHat/Fedora for many years, I found myself quite 
comfortable on the first day I installed CentOS.

Glad I found you, CentOS.
