Why support >300 distro's.
of those >300 distro's what number of them have more than say 3 dozen users. maybe 50. Of those 50 what number of those are based off of Debian or Red hat. Now of most of those distro's are hard to install and configure(gentoo?) Requiring knowledge to use. If you have the knowledge to use them, then you have the knowledge to fix them, or at least figure out how.
The people who need help will be running Lycoris, or Xandros, or Fedora, or Mandrake, or Novell.
That's a lot easier to support. Now isn't it. considering since Xandros, and Lycoris are Debian.
