“Russian Distributions” or “Why Russia doesn’t like Debian”

List of "Russian Distributions"

So let's start with ASPLinux.

In principle, a good distribution based on rpm, so let's say "True Russian" because This is not a clone but a distribution kit from scratch. The only thing that is not pleasant is a wide variety of versions and many of them are paid.

AltLinux

Honestly, I personally like it more than ASPLinux.
It also scares a large variety of options and also for money and rpm too. And also almost from scratch.

Now runtu

Honestly, it’s hard to call it an independent distribution, it’s very much tied to Ubuntu, it’s lagging behind for a long time with releases. Differences from ubuntu are insignificant: Russification (where there is some) and other software included, that's basically all. Based on deb packages.

Infralinux

There’s nothing to talk about at all, the same Ubuntu. Of the changes: something changed where the pictures and OpenOffice replaced with its own assembly. (ZY. The latest version has added Business Pack. Quote "The integration of Business Pack into the distribution system of the Infra-Linux.org project will expand the support for small businesses at the expense of Linux users, whose number has been steadily growing recently.” But This topic deserves a separate post.)

So all the same, why am I telling everything here? And besides, for some reason, our domestic developers have bypassed Debian. All “True Russian Distributions” are based on RedHat, and those on deb can hardly be called distributions with a capital letter. What does the community think about it? Or maybe I'm wrong?
