My OperaDay of the Distros - The List Grows Shorter

Tech News -
1) The list of distros for the "Day of the Distros" has grown itself shorter. Why? In part because I'm fond of the Gnome desktop, and certain distros listed only ship with KDE.
2) I'd like to make this note to anyone who reads this and might be a distro developer (I'll be leaving notes on their sites as well) If you're going to make a distro, please, PLEASE, give options. Make a KDE variant and a Gnome variant, at the very least. I'm not saying go all out like Ubuntu and have E17, and XFCE variants as well (it'd sure be nice) but at least give the two choices of the most commonly used desktop managers.
That is all for this short update. I'm on to testing OpenSolaris. Look for notes on that in my next update.
