Linux Yes, we all know the "big three" (Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE) commercial distros, we also know the next big bunch of respected traditional/geek distros (Debian and Slackware and some might add Gentoo too in this list), and we know the "other big three" in the desktop Linux area (Lindows, Xandros, Lycoris). However, not everyone knows what is available besides this "threshold". Here is a list of Linux distros that worth knowing about and to keep an eye on!

I must say that I really like both Redhat and Libranet... There is a new version of Libranet coming out soon so people might take a look at it.

Libranet is basically a modified Debian distro. When you buy it you get:

1. An improved installer that is easier to use.

2. Email / Forum support. Libranet has very high quality support.

Although I like Libranet, I wouldn't recomend it for people who don't like to have to edit config files. You'll need to edit atleast a few files (sources.list comes to mind) in order to get it working how you like...

The only real downside of Libranet is that it doesn't feel as polished as other 'easier' distrobutions like Mandrake & Redhat
