Its got to be Suse, the package just gets better and better. All the soft it comes with as standard must make it one of the most complete distro's going. Installation is a breeze too.

Hi... I am an entry level Linux User

My point is that the best distribution is the one which works best, without too much dealing into configuring it...

I installed so many distros last year...

The winer was ubuntu 6.06 Drapper drake... it recognized and configured correctly my video card and my sound card...

Recently I migrated to Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft.

Of course some day i will vote for debian...

I have used Mandrake, Knoppix, Puppy, Simply Mepis, Xandros, and have settled on Xandros. Run three versions on my machine (3.0 Deluxe, 3.02 Open Circulation Edition, and 4.0 Home Premium (trial))

As this is my first post, greetings from NZ

Jim
