i'll bite on the bait/lure ..
 
imho...
	- debian ... free ... 
	- ubuntu ... commercialized version of debian's "hard work"
		which to me is wrong to do.. but oh well..
	- knoppix... good first pass CDs though i know it barfs on
		some generic (dell) hardware config, but good enuff
		for most folks

- and the other 2,000+ distro's .. each have +/- 

a better comparison ...

	*.deb vs *.rpm vs *.tgz vs *.home-brew ( combo )

- compare against whatever metric you want to use to measure
  which is better/worst
