Linux is close, but not quite there yet. The future for this OS is limitless.

Not quite ready for prime time, I agree. But I'm not sure how much of a problem dependencies are anymore. New apps can be downloaded and installed with SUSE and it takes care of all dependency issues automatically.

But. Not all distributions are user-friendly in this way, from what I understand, and SUSE certainly has its disadvantages, like all OSs.

I tried to install Suse on my PC and it had could not recognize my USB ports and wouldn't load.  It just hung there in permanent limbo.  Eventually I gave up and tried Mandrake 10.1, which I like a lot.  The dependancy issues with Mandrake are ridiculous, however.
