SuSE was the first distribution I ever used way back when 5.2 was on a 
PC Plus coverdisc. I find it a good rock-solid distribution and I even 
bought three editions of it a few years ago (6.0, 6.2 and something else...)

I do really like Debian based distributions, and I think Linspire is a 
good choice for new users (and can be upgraded using APT instead of 
clickandpay).

Oh, sorry to steal your thread :)
