Hi Mattia, This is not very helpful but mildly interesting anyway. I did a quick search on linux distribution popularity (see links below) -- the premise being that the aim is to provide packages for as many linux users as possible whilst minimising the number of distributions that need to be supported.
Ubuntu seems to be by far the most popular distribution. There seems to be little difference in popularity between Fedora and Suse. I used to use Suse (before I moved to Ubuntu) and found it easy enough to install Fedora packages. I guess it would be ideal to support both Fedora and Suse, I would offer to help out, unfortunately I'm going to be travelling over the next nine months so would be very unreliable! Good luck!
