My Five Favorite Not-Usual Linux Distros (Linux Planet) [LWN.net]

Carla Schroder reveals her favorite distributions over on Linux Planet. "Arch is my new favorite no-frills Linux. Arch is well-maintained, and the one big feature that sets it apart from all other Linuxes is the Arch Linux Wiki. This is the best-documented Linux distro of all. Rather than wasting energy continually re-inventing poorly-designed GUI interfaces in place of good howtos, Arch relies on sensible design and good documentation. It is sleek, clean, and efficient, and thanks to good design and documentation it is easy to learn. It fits any role well-- desktop, server, router, and I like it as an audio production platform. It makes the most out of modest hardware, and supports a full range of audio applications."
