Well, in fact, there may be more. But, here I am giving you the list of top 100 Linux distributions – they are tailor made for your different requirement. Just hunt down a little and you will get a Linux distribution that will perfectly suit your Hardware-Software requirement.
For example, I tried Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, Knoppix but finally settled for Sabayon because it had most drivers for my LAPTOP COMPAQ PRESSARIO V3000. It had out of the box support for most hardware including Nvidia 3d Graphic.

openBSD is not a Linux "distro" or uses the Linux kernel! same goes for Solaris
Hi Raviratlam,
Just to let you know:
Linux Distributions, are running the Linux kernel, that's what Linux is; a kernel.
FreeBSD, PCBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DesktopBSD, and FreeNAS are all running BSD based kernel's, and Solaris uses it's own kernel.
Your certainly right about there is an Operating System out there to suit you, however they are just not all Linux.
Have fun using Sabayon,
Cheers Kris
Kris,
I very well know that BSD and Solaris had different Kernel. But an end user (who is not so geeky,) SEE only the FRONTEND - the GUI or the command TERMINAL. He see either KDE or GNOME or XFCE or FLUXBOX and so on...
That is what I meant...
