Linuxtracker – GNU/Linux torrent tracker site
Hey, i found a GNU/Linux distro bittorent tracker site at http://linuxtracker.org/. You can find a lot of GNU/Linux distro here from the most familiar (Debian, Fedora, SUSE and Slackware) to seldom heard distro (astaro, auditor, b2d, berrylinux, etc). There’s a lot of distro to choose from! The list is not only limited to GNU/Linux distro, *BSD distro flavour derived operating systems are also listed here (FreeBSD, opensolaris, netbsd, OpenBSD, etc), making choices more diversified.
On the negative side, distros (torrents) offered here seems to lack seeders, with the exception of popular distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, Knoppix, etc), you will be considered lucky if you can get a torrent with more than 10 seeders for some seldom heard distro.
Finally, this site can be useful for you if you want to try out exotic distro or to find how diversified GNU/Linux distributions are.
