OSNews, Generic OSes "Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, SUSE, and Linspire are making headway in the desktop market, but if you want to try something really different, you can find other, less-well-known alternative operating systems. While these OSes may not be the most stable, or have the greatest hardware support, they offer some unique ideas." SkyOS, Haiku, Syllable and Visopsys are reviewed.

You guys missed a very important upcoming distro named Tomahawk Desktop (http://www.tomahawkcomputers.com).

Their latest release is very much better compared to Ubuntu's latest (6.06) on technical merits and its very stable too. I have never seen a distro yet who offer fully automated Windows dual boot, complete implementation of QoS and something similar to Tomahawk's /home/common/ to share files right out of the box like.

Just try this feature alone, try to browse some website on Ubuntu and compare that to the speed of browsing the same website on Tomahawk Desktop. The difference like the day and the night. As a user you have nothing to configure on Tomahawk Desktop, everything just right out of the box, maximum just adjust the fonts to your taste, that's all.

Well, this is about alternative operating systems and not about alternative linux distributions ;)
