Redhat-"derived" multimedia desktop distro.
Real RH is 3 iso's worth - and you need all three for a reasonable
install for RH 9.0
Both RH and SuSE are now positioning themselves for the enterprise
and server markets. RH are pulling out of marketing boxed sets
for consumers.
If you want to change from SuSE and keep the most current software
try one of
RH beta "Severn"
Mandrake 9.1 - the easiest install of any distro IMHO.
Knoppix and a hard disk install
Debian
In a hurry, so can't go into detail now
