www.distrowatch.com is a good place to look...

And forget about "trying them all" you'll never be able to do that ;-)
 you CAN hit up most or all of the major or more popular ones... but
there are countless distros out there, some of which are real separate
distros, some which only differ from their parent by a few packages
and colors.

Also, DSL and #!crunchbang (#!crunchbang is larger than the common
micro-distros, but smaller than the full ones.  I used to run it on my
netbook).
