I just updated my spreadsheets, on number of listeners (by episode) and number of distros reviewed (by date).
At this time, we have reviewed 65 distros in our 34 months of existence. These are only separated in our statics according to desktop if they are an Ubuntu spin... We don't currently have stats on which desktops we have reviewed, but that has always been part of the distro review.
