“I visit Distrowatch everyday, and also have an RSS feed here at
Total Linux listing the latest releases, and only recently did I
see the long waiting list of new projects who are hoping that a
spot on Distrowatch will launch them to ÜberStardom, or even
ÜbuStardom 😉

“Check out the waiting list below, you never know, you may find
a hidden little gem of a distro that hasn’t got the backing of the
likes of Canonical or Novell, so remains unknown.

“(List courtesy of Distrowatch.Com)
