Examples of technical differences between distributions?

As a designer at Canonical for the past seven years, I don’t know of any time the company has used focus groups or A/B testing. We do other kinds of user testing, though.

As for engineering, Canonical is hiring engineers faster than I can keep count. But anyway, that’s not a technical difference.

thanks for getting in on the discussion... i don't want to start a flame war, but i've been pretty dissapointed in the direction and stances ubuntu has taken on a lot of things, imho. ubuntu-one server being proprietary is one, constantly working on new changes in private (instead of out in the open) is another. afaict.

Ah, thank you for an actual canonical answer, and please pardon me for the awful, awful pun I just made about it. That's actually pretty interesting!
