Linux Distributions

• RedHat

• Fedora Core

• Debian

• Gentoo

• http://www.libranet.com - nice commercial version of Debian

• http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php - Live Linux CDROMS

• http://puppylinux.org/ - Puppy Linux, runs from LiveCD or USB

• http://bbs.archlinux.org/ - ArchLinux. Seems to have a lot of in common with Debian, but uses its own package management system (pacman). Basic idea is to be lean and mean, and install only what you need and nothing more. Unlike Debian, they avoid patching upstream sources. Service management is done through basic rc.conf rather then /etc/init.d symlinks.
