Very easy for a newbie to install.

Cons:
|
Haven't found any.

Found SuSE 8.2 Personal to be an excellent distribution. It was very easy to install, even on a 166 MHz Pentium MMX system.
It was recommended over other distributions, plus I found it supports all of the internal PCI cards (video, audio, network) that are used, a USB wireless/optical/rechargable mouse, my Epson inkjet printer, and (unexpectedly) my digital camera - which was recognimzed right when I plugged it in to the other USB port, and could immediately view the pictures on it using Konqueror.
I'm very pleased with SuSE, and pleased to recommend it.

Pros:
|
Excellent hardware auto-detection, YaST2, great support database at suse.com
|
|
Cons:
|
Doesn't come with development tools or samba server, doesn't autoconfigure for Windows SMB network like Mandrake, no DVD playback software included
|
The hardware detection for SuSE 8.2 was the best I have ever seen in any of the distributions I have tried. (RedHat 5.2, Mandrake 8.0, 8.1,9.0, Lycoris, SuSE 8.2) It was incredibly easy to setup and a decent transition for newbies coming over from Windows, though I have heard Lindows and Mandrake's latest version rival in this area. I have been able to solve every problem I have run into by going to www.suse.com, and searching their support database. It is also incredibly stable. I have had other distributions' systems hang completely when a certain app crashed, when an app has crashed SuSE I have never had this issue, the worst I've had to do is kill/restart X.
Although SuSE 8.2 didn't come w/ development tools, Samba server, or DVD playback functionality, none of this was difficult to find.

Pros:
|
really easy to install ,tons of apps ,stable ,easy
|
|
Cons:
|
would be excellent if YOU could be used for KDE & other packages as well ... like apt-get
|
Really easy install .... takes little time ..... generally seems to be fast .....
More disk & security related tools would be better than online-banking apps & other silly stuff
YAST makes adding stuff and configuration really easy .... its not a Linux flavour IŽd recommend for ones who want to really learn everything .... it just all worked out of the box 4 me .... stable .....
Great for a painless intro to Linux but it still has all the tools one wants .....
Enough documentation ....
