Leading
distributions have been around for a while and are
well-established and have stable versions. Because they
are well-known, startup distributions may use them as a
base. Leading distributions are generally available for
multiple platforms, and in a variety of versions ranging
from very stable to the bleeding-edge. Often they include
multi-lingual support as well.

This site is a not-for-profit website. Costs to maintain the server and bandwidth greatly outweigh the revenue from advertising and visitor donations. To put it simple it is very expensive to run a download site with over 800 visitors per day. I, Mahesh Bisesar solely developed this site for your enjoyment and would appreciate any donations from its visitors.
