    Howdy and Welcome. For a Distro that is not widely used, Has the speed of Puppy and Slitaz, but has the power of Debian Testing and Debian Unstable package resources and IMO just a fine distro. Give Antix 8.2 awhirl. Another little known Distro I like to use is NimbleX.

    I am sure other forum members have some other suggestions as well.

    Welcome to the forums!

    I don't think there are many distros that nobody else uses unless you create it yourself, but take a look at CRUX because it's lean and very fast, and it forces users to learn a lot about Linux. It's also not used by a huge number of users because it's a bit more work than some distros.

    Hope you have fun with whatever you should decide to run.

    Here are four little known projects that I think are interesting. I haven't used any of them for quite awhile, but as far as it goes, Pardus was the "best" of the bunch in terms of...I guess "user friendliness", but more, it felt polished, complete. It had a lot of little nice touches in the user interface. It's also the only one that isn't based on another distro. (Debris is Ubuntu based, Wolix and GoblinX are based on Slackware.)
