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!

FreeBSD is incredible all-around, server or desktop
on i386's :-)
NetBSD runs on almost anything, and i mean anything
linux has, and does, run on bigger and smaller devices

OpenBSD is considered by many to be the most secure OS ever created no contention :-) but DOS has *NEVER* had a remote root vulnerability in what? 20+ years? :-)

that said, i love gentoo linux. o/
