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!

Eugenia and gentoo

Actually, Eugenia, gentoo does get a lot of publicity. A small amount of their users are very vocal about throwing plugs all over slashdot, osnews, etc. and that does get new people...

...annoyed ;)

I'm honestly not trying to flame here (I think gentoo is a good distro), but you can't say that gentoo isn't getting any new users because it isn't getting hyped up in formal reviews and such (it's getting hyped up everywhere else).
