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!

There is a difference between processor families and actual machines. There are several different buses, controller cards, and various other hardware that need to be supported.
There are several machines built from each of these processor families that I guarantee will not run Linux without some tweaking...however, every single machine listed on the NetBSD page, will run NetBSD...the whole thing...entire full-blown OS
The point is...your quick analysis may be misleading
That said I'm not a NetBSD expert, I haven't used it since 1.5 and that was only the i386 port, since i don't own any exotic hardware
