              @arubislander Already checked. You can vote as many times as you like =)))))))) Is this a joke? =)))))))

              Well, in this instance it is because cast votes are tied to IP address, and since you are using Tor, the IP address the website sees changes all the time.

              But in general, yes. While I would't call it a joke per se, popularity metrics on Distrowatch do need to be taken with a heavy bag of salt.

                  Suit yourself. 😉

                  But if you do use UT then why not vote?

                        Call me cynical, but I never follow invitations to "open this link" unless I know the the person involved or he provides a reasonable explanation for doing so.

                          @cliffcoggin It's DistroWatch, not some obscure little known website. Don't vote then if you feel that way. Jeesh.

                              I've never heard of it, hence the need for some explanation.

                                @cliffcoggin Ok, I just presumed that everyone here would have heard of DW.

                                  I looked up DistroWatch on my FP2 Smartphone via Morph. It looked terrible - not mobile-friendly at all. I could see the poll results but they didn't fit on the screen. Does DW have a mobile version? I tried both mobile.distrowatch.com and m.distrowatch.com but no joy.
