    @Cider: A good place to check out is http://tille.garrels.be/training/. He has a book (online, and a pdf version) called intro to linux that's a non flavor specific 'get ur feet wet' type of guide.

    I made a bunch but there are some. Mandriva is pretty close to SUSE, just read through it and the difference with that and the others you'll be able to see and change as needed.

    Thanks.

    OK, I just finished updating this thread to be a little bit more this century so if you were a fan of this thread, feel free to look at it again. As usual, if you want to, you can add your own reviews.

    I don't want this to turn into a big SuSE ad, but it is my favorite distro. It comes with a lot, has a lot to offer, and is cheaper than Red Hat Linux.
    After all these years SuSe is STILL King.

    I'd make an argument for Ubuntu. It's gaining popularity very quickly.

    SUSE is indeed the best so far. I've used a lot of distros and haven't found even ONE that can compare. As for Ubuntu:

    Well, it's no secret I don't really like it, and given the press it gets on it's own, I don't need to put it in here much. I mean a lot of people have replied saying how I should add it in here, so basically, I don't because it already has the replies.

    In the first thread I said that if you wanted to add something to go ahead and reply, and Ubuntu has had a lot of replies here and there, so I don't need to bring it up. I just personally think that if you install Debian, you get the same thing except you don't need to screw around with the root account to make it normal again.

    If you like Ubuntu though I'm not going to slam you or anything like that, it's personal choice, and I support THAT

    I third SUSE

    using openSUSE 11 with kde 4.1 along with gnome and icewm

    by far better than ubuntu

    the only distro that can compare i would say is mandriva, which is a very close second

    Yast2 is a wonderful robust tool

    btw, props to the kde dev team, 4.1 is beautiful and fast--not completely ready, but it will soon be

    opensuse is the distro to use to explore kde 4 if you're curious

    Well it should be Novel, which owns SUSE, also have a whole team for KDE and GNOME too I can't recall how many, but I know they have a crap load of their staff working on just KDE and another load of them working on GNOME. So of course it's going to look darn good on SUSE. I'm not even sure if many people know about that or not. It was slightly pointed out in an interview I read with one of their staff members who's full time job at Novell was basically KDE and nothing else.
