"Have you tried SuSE?"

I haven't tried SuSE myself, but it seems to be quite popular.

Thanks. The reason I asked is because I kind of came up through the ranks with various releases of SuSE (starting with 6.2) and am currently running v9.1 . I was extremely impressed with the ease of installation on that version as it compared to previous releases. I would've been reluctant to recommend it to a Linux novice before now - but no longer. It was actually easier to install than Windows XP. It certainly is easier to maintain from a security standpoint! There are still a few gotchas regarding hardware for dialup users (thanks to MS proprietary drivers) but I was amazed at how quickly it installed. BTW, the current version is 9.2.
