There used to be a distribution HOWTO that compared distributions.  I just
went to the linux documentation project site, which is the official source
for these things, and it says that it was withdrawn by request of the
author.  It can still be found all over the 'net, though.  For instance:
ftp://ftp.uni-mannheim.de/systems/linux/mandrake/6.1/doc/HOWTO/Distribution-
HOWTO.

It was written in '99, so it's kinda old, but it's a start.  good luck!
