Oracle Enterprise Linux missing from the picture

Since last year there is another Linux distribution: Oracle Enterprise Linux, based on Red Hat. Now they started with Oracle Enterprise Linux 4, and have released for few week already Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.

Sorting the table "Package Management and Installation"

When I order the table "Package Management and Installation" by the column "Approximate number of pre-compiled packages", the sorting is alphabetical, not numeric. Thus, here are the first seven entries, in the order they appear: 875 8300 8280 8000 80 610 6000

It would be nice to sort numerically.

Other than that, this whole page has lots of wonderful information. Thank you.

The sorting issue appears to have been fixed. Anjefu (talk) 13:58, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additional information in table - e.g. lightweight?

KNOWING that Arch Linux runs on tiny devices (e.g. PogoPlug), and that XUbuntu is a lightweight version of Ubuntu, I was surprised to find the table did not indicate this kind of very useful -- in selecting a distribution -- information. WardXmodem (talk) 03:00, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

from X-LFS-2010 (just added). I total agree. There is no "room" for new or other distributions. And the feature chart is simply bereft of any meaning to todays people. Child installable y/n? Distro agnostic y/n? RasperyPi Android maker y/n? Ebeddable y/n? Telephone company exchange compatible y/n? 

Set top box provider y/n?

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 3 external links on Comparison of Linux distributions. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
