I have my system Dual booted with windows ME and Suse 7.3. I hate windows ME and will soon be changing it because of how bad it is. THe Suse is so much more stable than the ME, Im really becoming converted. I also found that the Suse is stightly slowler but the stability is much better. Suse is a nice distro IMO, if you by the box you get a load of books to start off with to get you into it, I am a total newbie to linux and I have enjoyed working with linux. Also Im a student, I produce alot of papers as well as typing up my notes, I find Star Office on Linux does evrything I need it to.
