I think this thread about the variety of distributions in use acts as an interesting data point. Which distribution(s) would the DS target?

Linux Mint, and Ubuntu's variations will probably be all the same or at least very similar releases, and then an additional release for Fedora will probably cover most FRC/Linux users.

Another solution would be source code releases, but we're still talking about proprietary products at the end of the day so...
