A new Linux recommendation



I REALLY like SuSE. I find the admin/config tools very intuitive and  
easy to use, its attractive and supports most hardware I've tried.  
Novell just recently branched SuSE al-la the Fedora / RedHat  
Enterprise split, so you should be able to get a free version online.  
Also, SuSE 9.3's free version is available too.
