[Wolves] Novells Gnome

[Knowlesands at aol.com]

Hi all,
         As a not very long newbie  user of Suse 9.1 and WLUG I am thinking 
of upgrading to 10.1.To that end I would  be interested in the opinions of any 
members using it on its pros and cons.I can  adapt to the version of Gnome or 
KDE in use.
        I would also be very  interested in advice or opinions of members to 
a not very experienced Linux user  as to what other distro they might think is 
easier to use,easier to  install,easier to add or remove applications etc.
        Unlike the most widely used  OS,Linux users have a very wide choice 
and amongst the longer serving members  there must one or a few distros that 
are more widely used.I would prefer this  advice related to ease of use to a 
newbie rather than my knowledge and ability  with command line and scripts.
        I tried Linux about ten years  ago but found it a very long time 
consuming subject as opposed to Windows I was  using.After many years gap and a 
copy of Live Knoppix (3.3) I was  pleasantly surprised to find how Linux had 
advanced.After that I used Open Linux  2.4 (struggle) then Suse 9.1 (fine).
        I am now thinking of a more  recent version and ask for your advice 
on what it should be.
            hoping  for some advice 
                    Peter Gill
