SUSE, no doubt. Why? Because it works; it's solid, stable, cutting edge, easy to configure with many other pluses.

Being easy to configure doesn't make a distribution the best; also went to some RPM dependency hell already? :-) |

Browse this forum, there is a thread going on for quite some time now in why we don't have one, our policy in adding one and so on.

I was a faithful follower of redhat for a while. Right now Im using 9. I don't know about this new v3 thing. Looks like redhat is trying to get paid like Bill Gates.
