From our customers' perspective, there is a definite preference for having full CVE coverage for the following in prioritised order:
Status: O

* Red Hat (specifically RHEL Server - our customers have limited interest in e.g. the desktop solutions and Fedora. A full coverage focus could, therefore, be on RHELS only).
* SUSE (both SLES and openSUSE - interest for e.g. SLED is limited)
* Debian
* Ubuntu
