There are the daring Minis and LiveCDs (Knoppix), the specialized ones (Linux-on-a-toilet), the “techdemo” distros (Kororaa), the “Mighty Underdog” distros (Frugalware; Zenwalk), the retard OSes. (Linspire; Mepis), and finally the uber-1337 Gnu/Linux distros (Debian; Slackware; Gentoo.) I like the way TechNews put it.
