My OperaDay of the Distros - Another Day of Dowloading ISOs

Tech News -
This doesn't really need to be numbered, it's just one small update, to inform you all, that my list has just vastly increased, I mean, we are talking about dozens of distros now instead of just a few. I'm going against the mainstream, taking a stand for the smaller guys out there, and giving them their shot in the spotlight.
You'll see a fully modified list when I complete the downloads.
Please be patient, as I'm going to probably start testing all over again, simply for note taking purposes. Oh, and another one that is def added to the list, as per a forum request, CentOS will be getting a Laptop review as well.
I should have mentioned this earlier, but the hardware theses dists are getting ran on, is an E1705 Notebook from Dell. it has 2 gigs of ram, with an ATI Mobility Radeon x1400 Video card, as well as a 2.0GHz Dual Core processor, and a 17 inch display (1920x1200).
Also, I'm going to be using a LiveCD to do some Filesystem tests (encrypted and non-encrypted). Then, once I've picked my filesystems, and tweaks for them, and my distro, I'm going to perform a few tests on filesystems that reside on USB (also encrypted and non-encrypted). So look for those results probably within about two weeks.
Happy Hacking~~
