I personally would go with Linux Distro of the fortnight! Here is how we can go about it :

* Get a list of *all* the Linux Distros (keep adding the new ones as and when they pop)
* Poll every fortnight as to which will be featured in the coming week.
* The users of the featured distro can highlight all the pros and cons about the distro; what special features does it have, how is it different from other distros, anything in general which can compel people to try the linux distro, paste screenshots, add screencasts, etc.
* Remove the names from the list which are already featured.

No distro wars here. The idea is to promote each and every OS that is a part of LINUX.

I like "krOy's" idea of users featuring the pros and cons of the particular distro they mention. It is one thing to see write-ups on the different distro sites BUT it is different to hear it from actual everyday users. You could even go so far as to have sub-headings such as Printing, Scanning, Sound, Display, etc so that users can quickly summarise if they are experiencing difficulties or not and if they are then they can give some idea of what and why they are if possible. Someone may pan a particular distro because they can't print for example when it may just be that they are trying to use a printer that just isn't supported. I believe there is promise is the idea

@ ScriptDevil : I think you have not gone through the idea carefully.

There is no case of domination by the popular distros in this case as there will be a list of *all* the Linux distros. Each week, there will be a voting that will take place, the distro topping the polls will be featured with all the pros and cons. Then the featured distro WILL BE ELIMINATED from the list. So even if for a few days we get to see the popular distros, later we will get to know about the not so popular ones. And I guess that will be extremely good for the users who are only aware about the popular Linux distros only.

@ Flip: Thanks for suggesting the inclusion of sub-headings. That will automatically help people compare within various distros already featured. Also it will help to highlight the special features of the distro.
