It's an age old question, but it's always fun to hear how distributions change from year to year. What is your favorite Linux distribution?

With all of the choices out there, we can't list them all. Instead, we used DistroWatch.com's page hit rankings to generate for us the top 10 Linux distributions over the last 30 days.

The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics are a light-hearted way of measuring the popularity of Linux distributions and other free operating systems among the visitors of this website. They correlate neither to usage nor to quality and should not be used to measure the market share of distributions. They simply show the number of times a distribution page on DistroWatch.com was accessed each day, nothing more.

When we asked this question last year, over five thousand readers responded. Can we top that this year?

If your current distribution of choice didn't make the cut, pick your favorite from this list and let us know in the comments. Be sure to let us know why you picked your distro of choice!
