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!

two more strong niche distros:

smoothwall.org have a dedicated firewall/router distro (there are several out there, but this one was the best fit for me)

trustix.org have what looks to be a very nice, small and clean server distro with an emphasis on security.

note that neither of these include X, and are in fact designed to be run headless.
