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!

Debian GNU/Linux runs on just as many (maybe more) processor families as NetBSD does. (the lists below are for things supported in the latest stable release)
Debian: i386, m68k, sparc, alpha, powerpc, arm, mips, mipsel, hppa, ia64, s390
NetBSD: arm, mips, alpha, m68k, superh, i386, powerpc, sparc, vax
NetBSD's ports page doesn't differentiate between mips and mipsel, so that may be supported for both. At any rate, Debian still wins 11-10
