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!

The BSDs are another great set of OSes to try...
FreeBSD is incredible all-around, server or desktop
NetBSD runs on almost anything, and i mean anything
OpenBSD is considered by many to be the most secure OS ever created
And all of these support Linux binary-compatibility
so give 'em a try
