FreescoTry freesco. It's simpler and easier to set up than LRP, although it doesn't have the more advanced features.
For more here's a few good sites that list distros. That's how I usually find new ones.

Re:Linux 3x more powerful!
Yes, especially compared to that one version of SuSE, Slackware, Redhat, Debian, Stampede, Mandrake, MkLinux, TurboLinux, RockLinux, Caldera, DLX, Yggdrasil, Alzzalinux, Apokalypse, Bastille, BeroLinux, Best Linux, Connectiva Linux, Delix, DLD, SLS, EasyLinux, Enoch, Esware, Freenix, Khoeps, KSI Linux, Linux MX, LinuxGT, LST, LunetlX, LaetOS, Macmillan, Nomad, OpenShare, Phat, Prosa Debian, Pygmy, slinux, Storm Linux, Turkauz, Vendova Linux, Yellow Dog Linux, et. al.
Yes, I see your point, 3 BSD's are definitely too many.
See http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions for the above links. -
Yes.. we do.When you say that there is tons of fragmentation in the linux field, I think you're mistaken. Sure, according to linux links there are 78 distributions, but lets face it, there are only a few real distributions.
There is Redhat, which is what most of those other distributions are based on, and appeals to the end user.
There is Debian, which appeals to the advanced user/hacker.
And there are few other distributions like Slackware, which is slowly being replaced by debian, and Stampede, which is still in alpha stage.
So the way I see it, the more contributions to linux the better. Espically coming from a major player like corel, and if you've seen what they've done with their distribution (i saw the demo at LWCE), you'd say the same. I think that we should all support corel, because they're taking a real chance by putting their money into linux.
BTW, their KDE improvements and their Windows Explorer like thing are really cool.
