The major factor behind my move from MDK to SuSE was 10.1 absolutely 
hosing my dialup settings, and I just couldn't get it to reconnect. 
Seeing as I was due Broadband in a few weeks after I didn't fancy trying 
to fight it for the Speedtouch modem, and so I flipped over to SuSE 9.1, 
because Linux Magazine gave away a free full dvd of 9.1 Pro.

So far its been excellent, the Speedtouch took a little fiddling but its 
been mostly excelent, restoring my IMAP folders for me and my wife was 
childsplay and so far its been nought but good with SuSE, so much so 
that my wife chose it as well when XP went to the great bitbucket in the 
sky for the last time
