Last time I tried SuSe was 7.x and a couple - if not more - years ago.
It seemed good at the time but then I switched to Red Hat.
I've tried loads of the so-called friendlier distros. Mandrake seemed
okay but a bit rough round the edges. Lycoris was out of date but
pretty. I had a go with Gentoo, as well, but I'm really the sort of
person who wants to *use* a computer, these days. I enjoy the odd bit of
fiddling (no comments Aq) but I have so little free time, at the moment,
I'd rather get things working in as easy a manner as possible.
Can't remember what else I tried but, in the end, there was loads of
stuff out there that could be easily added to Red Hat, so I stuck with that.
