Firstly, I didn't  say that Debian is not a major distribution.
Secondly, Distrowatch is not authoritative. They have listed a general
guide, which is not based on any numbers. Currently, number 1 ranked
Linux distro according to Distrowatch is PCLinuxOS. It is confusingly
similar to PCQLinux - which was distributed along with PC Quest
Magazine. To complicate things further, PCLinux OS also publishes a
monthly magazine online. A lot of students want to buy PCLinuxOS (which
I think does not contain as many development packages as PCQLinuxOS)

I really don't want to please the entire world with the list that I
created. The flyer was created with a very specific purpose, which I
believe is fulfilled.
