1) try: http://www.vectorlinux.com/ The free 5.8 standard seems to run
every thing 'out of the box', no Codecs to download, etc. I played
with it for about a week, not to bad.

2) Install anyones Server version of Linux, add X11 & IceWm, what else
could one need?

3) http://haiku-os.org/

4) And for REAL MEN, http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/
