Some important questions to ask is

Is this distribution going to being around in five years?

Is this distribution going to stay on top of the latest security patches?

Is this distribution going to release updated software promptly?

If I have problems, would the vendor talk to me?

So get answers to some important questions.

will the release continue to exist for the next 5 years?

will the release continue to have updated security patches?

will the release release the updated software quickly?

If I have a problem, does the distributor talk to me?

Viewed in this light, some of the more interesting, offbeat distributions don ' t

Sound quite so appealing. But don ' t count them out:e*trade, for example, runs on Gentoo Linux.

with this in view, some of the more interesting, smaller distributions are less attractive. But don't leave them out: E*trade, for example, runs on Gentoo Linux.

The most viable distributions is not necessarily the most corporate. For example,

We expect Debian Linux (ok, OK, Debian gnu/linux!) to remain viable for a long time despite the fact that Debian was not a Company, doesn ' t sell anything, and offers no formal, on-demand support. Debian itself isn ' t one of the most widely used distributions, but it benefits from a committed group of contributors and From the enormous popularity of the Ubuntu distribution, which are based on it.

The most dynamic distribution is not necessarily the most commercially available release version. For example, we think that Debian will exist for quite some time, even though Debian is not a company that sells nothing and does not formally provide the support it needs. Debian itself is not a widely used distribution, but it benefits from a strong contributor to the popularity of Ubuntu, a Debian-based distribution.
