Last 6 months (default):
1 Ubuntu 2438 down
2 openSUSE 2101 up
3 Fedora 1426 up
4 MEPIS 1063 up
Last 30 days:
1 openSUSE 2548 down
2 Ubuntu 2223 down
3 Fedora 1304 down
4 MEPIS 1035 up
and the 7 days is as in your list.
The Distrowatch numbers are probably influenced with users that are testing
new features as last 30 days, that capture new 10.2 downloads, show. Second
fact for high number of Ubuntu downloads might be fact that they offer Live
CD and many people trying linux will rather keep their system untouched.
It is interesting that Knoppix, IMHO by far better live CD, is not more
popular. This is possible with Knoppix too, but than you are on your own for
updates from Debian.
It seems that many go for a solution that is Live CD, but offers installation
and support.
