Please suggest me the ones from each type that I should download and install in order to learn something. Thanks.
I guess I am confused by what you expect to "learn" from this. Your goal of "learn something" is quite ambiguous. Are you setting up a firewall box? If so, then pfsense, endian and untangle are all excellent, but if you're not going to use them as a firewall, what are you expecting to learn? SystemrescueCD is an excellent recovery tool, but you don't "install" it.
If you want to learn the purpose behind these various projects, you'd be far better served by visiting each of the projects' web sites and doing some reading. Once you understand the purpose and function of a particular "specialty" project, then you'll know if it is something suited to your needs.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
