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!

RootLinux

Well, Eugenia, you forgot Rootlinux there. A while ago an enterview with the guys behind Crux and Root was published, but you said nothing about it this time. In my opinion, Rootlinux is the best distro I've tried. In fact I've been using 1.4-unstable, and I think it's pretty good (appart some minor problems that can be corrected - hey, 1.4 is an unstable version). It's small, extremely fast, simple to use and to install. It just has what one needs, not 1001 packages to do the same thing like other distros do. I've been trying to help developing it. I just wish John Ericksson was not developing it so silently.
