    * More technical to learn off of
    * Installed with a console installer
    * Installed with everything
    * Packed with many choices for an application
    * Lightweight and speedy
    * Binary package based

Interesting considering Arch is low on the rankings for me (I use Arch on my primary machine and was already planning on putting Debian on my Server).

For me, LFS was #1 with 10/11

Slackware, Gentoo, and Debian were tied at 8/11, I think
