Zitat aus dem Artikel:
"In this instance, Ubuntu and Fedora received the highest scores overall, reflecting their tendency to be among the first responders for many issues. The lowest scores were shared by Slackware, SUSE and Trustix.
Naturally, its unwise to put too much stock in the absolute numbers themselves; its better to think about what is causing these results. For example, both Ubuntu and Fedora are free, but are sponsored by commercial vendors (Canonical Ltd. and Red Hat Inc., respectively). This could indicate that having corporate resources to support free efforts is important."
