I'm happy to report that, far from being the only
remaining choices, SuSe and Mandrake still have
lots of company:

BTW, did you hear that Mandrake is being sued because
the holder of the copyright for the eponymous comic
strip character claims they'd being harmed if a Linux
distribution used that name?  I wonder if they know that
there is also a plant with that name.  (or maybe they do
know it and they're just trying to figure out which court
has jurisdiction...)
