What all of the Ubuntu-derivative-OS-producers and Distrowatch don't want to say is that all those Mint, Pinguy, Zorin, Bodhi etc are just Ubuntu user's remixes, and that those producers (users) of Ubuntu derivatives have enough money to upload them for others to use and get donations.
What Distrowatch had found out, but don't want to say is that after Ubuntu 12.04, Distrowatch is no more distro-watching website, when it comes to Ubuntu derivatives, but an Ubuntu-user-watch. Not like earlier days, there is no mini.iso for anyone to build his own OS. So, Mint, Pinguy, Bodhi, Zorin or whatever Ubuntu based "distros" are just like any other Ubuntu user's own remix.
As a distro-watching web site, as far as Ubuntu derivatives or user remixes, Distrowatch has nothing to say, and had become Ubuntu-remixes-watching web site. Funny how things turn out!
In the so-called Distrowatch page-hit-rankings, one can just add up all Ubuntu derivatives hits and call that Ubuntu ranking.
Mint's Clem, Pinguy's Antoni, Bodhi's Jeff or Zorin has to download one of the Ubuntu 12.04 to remix it. There is no mini.iso anymore. All these people are just like us Ubuntu users.
They have to download either Desktop CD, Server Install CD or Alternate Install CD, just like anyone of us.
Have a nice day!
