Distributions for the Raspberry Pi at a glance
Conclusions
If you are taking your first steps with the Raspberry Pi, I recommend starting with Raspbian. Later, you can try out alternatives on your SD cards to make a personal comparison. Numerous other Rasp Pi distributions, some of them for special purposes, can be found on the web, along with the candidates mentioned here. One candidate worth noting is Pi-Point [16], which turns the computer into a mini WiFi access point; another is IPFire [17], which allows you to make the Rasp Pi into a router.
