If you look at Distrowatch and the Distrowatch weekly newsletter<br>
you can find the numbers but if you mean active distros less than
400.<br>
<br>
Many of these are regional adaptation, like Deepin and Ubuntu
Kyolin for Asian <br>
userrs, Septor for Serbians, there is a Turkish distro and quite a
few oltehr<br>
France has several, Russia has several copying old Mandriva.<br>
Then there are server only distribution, forensic, and distros
for hobbyists<br>
like the Ham Radio operators, and anime/manga lovers.<br>

<br>
And the latest special distribution has to be CAELinux for
people<br>
who want to control special machines like 3d printers.<br>
<br>
Then there are special cases like Funtoo which publishs no disk
images but<br>
tells you how to install a Gentoo based Linux using a System Rescue
Disk.</div><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFCCFF"><br>
