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!

About a year ago I called up D-Link to ask them to produce some linux drivers; they responded that linux isn't big anymore, since it hadn't received much media attention as of late. The words of the tech support clerk remind me of a certain osnews poster. I realize that you journalistic types don't believe in these little things called "facts", but might I suggest visiting www.distrowatch.com and looking at the top 10 list? How about visiting the second most popular channel on OPN(#gentoo) and asking for some statistics?
