Actually, that's a listing of distros *based on popularity* (in a rate of page hits tracked via distrowatch, I believe). Hence one can easily find the ten "best" distros based on popular opinion.

It's a page of links, each to a description of what is in each distro.
But it's not a comparison table, with highlights of differences ... (I'm
not sure you could easily do that, since each distro could conceivably
run however many desktop environments, etc)
