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!

These "other Distros" cater to the low end users. By that I mean they tell people they can run "their" distro on old hardware like a Pentium 1 or even a 486 as long as they have plenty of memory. You see messages posted all over thier boards of folks complaining how "slow KDE 3.1 runs" etc. The user generally gets a response telling to stop using KDE or upgrade their hardware.
