	I've tried Red Hat, Mandrake and now SUSE and I can only suggest as
I find.  SUSE does offer plenty of apps and the install is OK but it's now
well over a month and I still haven't got my grahics card regognised by SUSE
yet.  Don't be fooled by any of the 'nn days free support' offered by the
distros as they are next to useless.  I am still awainting replies from SUSE
from calls I made over a week and a half ago.  Mandrake were worse.  The
best place for help is here with the lugs, they have resolved a few of my
problems first go.  I know people who say they would have given up on linux
ages again with all the config problems, but to be it's a challenge!
