SuSE 8.0. (http://www.suse.com/index_us.html).  8.1 is available for 
preorder. Will be available 10.7. While both Mandrake and Red Hat are good 
releases, I have preferred SuSE since I switched from Debian. 
1. It is stable.
2. The distro contains virtually all the softeware you will want. 
3. Installation is straightforward. 
4. System administration can be centralized through a system admin utility 
or decentralized through the normal ascii files. 
5. Installation from either a set of 7 CDs or a single DVD. 
6. Online updates either via YaST2 Online Update or fou4s (fast YOU). 
7. Supports apt-get (downloadable separately).
