Krdc works very well with Suse, currently using it from this Fedora Laptop to 
log on to a Suse/Apache web server due to go live a.s.a.p.

You can also use Konqueror to browse your network.

To a certain extent its irrelevant what OS you use wether its Suse, Ubuntu 
blah blah blah. So long as your hardware is supported by the Distro of your 
choice.

With regards functionality nearly all of them come with the applications you 
need if not then they are available from sourceforge etc.

I'm starting to see a lot of the same mistakes people make with 
Windows/Microsoft but in a different way. If you sell a PC with XP on it and 
ask "And what office package would you like?" even in 2005 you still get the 
response "What? isn't that in XP then?".

With Linux I'm seeing posts that indicate people are under the impression 
certain Distros come with differant applications which of course is not 
strictly true.
