Very well said, i just looked up Fuduntu on Google and it appears to have been replaced by FuSE.

Also there’s a few other factors to consider, not just the time constraints, but being able to run a server (or two…or three!) from your home, having them on ALWAYS, using up the electricity, and being able to afford the utility bill that ensues. There’s a lot more to pushing out a distro than just coding, design, layout etc. A lot of distros failed because there just wasn’t enough contributions or financial support to keep them going (GOD! I miss Fuduntu….a blend of Fedora and Ubuntu….what could be better!?) I guess in the end the distros that remain will be the ones that have an actual user-base that needs/wants what they have to offer. All the others either fall into niche markets (scientific…..education…..security…..programming)…or else they just have a general appeal to the masses (Linux Mint….PCLinuxOS…..Knoppix etc.). Then there’s the businesses that will integrate Linux into their enterprises, which also have their “standard” distros (Red Hat….SuSE / OpenSuSE / Ubuntu / Debian etc.) all in all I would say there’s more than enough distros out there to satisfy every person’s need, and that sometimes it doesn’t make sense to “re-invent the wheel” when you have enough of them to go around. Just my two cents.
