"Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" The question seemingly has no real answer, and biologists can argue either reply ad nauseam . The computer world has an equally pervasive question that cannot provide a single answer: "What are the top three Linux distributions?"

For instance, are we talking about the top three distributions for business or home use? For commercial use or subscription free support?

Distrowatch lays it out pretty clearly.
1. Ubuntu

3. Fedora
Granted most large companies typically will go with a disto like RH or Novell's version of SuSE; however, that is slowly changing.

Not to mention they can customize or home-grow a distribution to fit their very needs. Regardless - Linux as an operating system in the workplace is on the move...

Top 3 Linux Distros.
Mandriva
PCLinuxOS
Xandros.
Ubuntu is horribly over rated.
