They are the top three pure desktop-oriented Linux distributions. Distributions like Mandrake, SuSE and RedHat/Fedora Core include a lot of non-desktop software, which already becomes clear when opening the boxes: they contain 3 times (the least) as many CD's as Linspire/Xandros/Lycoris ;) .

Mandrake and such are all-round distributions aimed at the less-experienced Linux user. Xandros and the likes are desktop distributions for newcomers.
