What are your scores scaled to?  I've used live CDs but never a distro on a production machine, what would say OS X Ease of Use be or Windows Support Availability or Software & Package Management be?  Without some reference to other OSs the obvious work you put into your guide seems of limited value to those who both have run a Linux distro and want to try or have the inclination to try another one.

If a 6 is the point at which very few would buy, it seems wasteful to dedicate 1/2 of your scale to indicating how bad something is. Once an arbitrary point of suckness is reached there's little reason to differentiate between "don't buy", "sucks", "blows", "blows like it's its job", "blows like a champ" and "it bit me". Re-tooling the scale closer to say 3 "Fulfills a niche need or has large glitches that block usage" as the minimum buy number for either early adopters or niche users to 10 "fully endorsed by the heads of all major churches" seems more useful.
