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!

Ohh, well for FreeBSD-STABLE branch, no there is no good Sparc support, however, NetBSD and OpenBSD do support such hardware.
And FreeBSD 5.0 is stabilizing very nicely. I would guess that 5.1 or 5.2 would become server-grade. In fact for some applications, I'd definitely consider using 5.0-RELENG as a server.
