I looked at the questions asked and it sure is arbitrary which distribution
you end up with. Well mostly. Obviously certain distro's cater more for a
certain public. But you can redo that test with just a few questions and have
better result.
It should have zero'd in on what makes each distro unique with strengths and
weaknesses in each area. According to my choices I should use Mepis, except I
prefer Fedora, and am not that fond of Mepis for my own use (though it's been
a while now).
Anyway, it would probably take a few trials to get it decently right.
