The DistroWatch web site was first published on 31 May 2001. The concept started as a very simple table comprising of 5 major distributions and the chart only compared a few features (price, version, release date) and a few package versions (Kernel, KDE, Gnome, XFree86, Apache). They have kept adding more distributions, features and packages until the table reached fairly reasonable state in terms of information provided. At that stage, they decided to share the table with the Linux community worldwide and moved it from a spreadsheet into an HTML document. This has been added to World Wide Web Reference Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
