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 was glad to see Brian's comment about ALT's distros after accidently reading the article (I appreciate the attempt of the article to explore something besides the main well-known distros and give info about it; thanks).
It can be difficult to understand in a short period of time what unique features the "other" distros have. For example, in the visible part (user interface), ALT has much in common with Mandrake, but the inner part can hardly be said to be Mandrake-based.
Brian,
a mailing list for English-speaking ALT users have been founded recently:
http://www.altlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/community-en
You are always welcome with your comments, e.g. about the the menu arrangement.
By implementing complete Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian support, ALT is trying to bring correct i18n to the system, thus making adding the support for another language an easier task.
