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!

>> Of course, strictly speaking, Eugenia (and many Americans) is not wrong. Portuguese is a Latin language, as much as English is a Germanic language

No, Portuguese isn't a 'Latin language', languages which distant descendants of Latin are not called 'Latin languages' they are called 'Romance languages' (in English). Additionally, AFAIK Conectiva (not Connectiva, BTW) only supports Spanish and Portuguese, not French, Italian nor any other Romance languages. Referring to Conectiva as a Linux distribution for the 'Latin speaking' totally wrong.
