I've been interested in Suse.

I'm a fan of the Ximian desktop. Have been using it on RedHat 7.3 since it came out. RedCarpet is great to update and install with. It looks great and just works as a desktop, nice menus and lots of nice extras

Now that Novel own Ximian and Suse I'm hoping Ximian will do a version of Gnome for Suse 9.1.
Having used RedHat for a few years now I'd like them to support Fedora Core 2 but that might be a bit much to hope for. :)
It's probably time to try a new distro anyway so here's hoping.

I'm running Suse 9.1 now .... and it looks very nice ... dead easy to setup everything from network printer to the actual network browsing.

Actually there's nothing to setup with network browsing ... it just does it.

The screen refresh rate actually works properly as well now from install ... you don't have to stuff around with it to get it right.

I've even setup WineX and am running Steam through it ... works well ... just like if you were playing on a windows machine.

Suse have done a very nice job of this one ... love it. :)

I generally seem to suffer bad luck when it comes to CD-bootable OS's. Never got Mandrake Move to work and Knoppix has had its quirks too. However, no such probs with the Suse Live CD.

I'm currently (and only recently) running Mandrake 10 - that too is worth a look at if you're new to linux. Shares a lot of common features to Suse in regards to ease of installation, GUI and config wizard tools.

I chose Mandrake over Suse because I felt as though it's file structure was a little more standardised than Suse. Though that is most likely a biased opinion - The first distro I was introduced to was Mandrake 9

Some ppl have problems with 700MB bootable-CDs...
Many computer BIOSes don't recognise them. :(

I traditionally use 650MB Boot CDs, however ISO images are slowly moving into the 700MB space....

Yup... Suse looks very good... particularly with the stuff that Novell has been doing late. :D

Cheers,

Matt.
