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.

LOL Good news then. Your description is almost identical to what I've been saying about Mandrake 10.1. I use a LAN connection so I can't say anything about dial up modem support. You probably have an onboard 'Winmodem', they have been the devil to Linux users for years.

The more good Linux OS's out there the better!
