SuSE is the best thing I have seen for a very long time in the Linux world. Though I'm a FreeBSD only user now.

The first time I used Slack, I never looked back. I feel at home with it. Virtually everything is under your control. No complicated GUIs to tweak your system. Although, I have tried other distros, Zenwalk, VectorLinux and Whax. Hey! Aren't those still Slack?

Sorry, can't help it Those distros are all good! Specially VectorLinux. It's fast and has great hardware detection. VLSOHO 5.1 rocks! But it's still Slack that stays in my drive.

SuSE is the only one that just works on my laptop to any usable extent. It just blows everything else out of the water.

For a desktop, I might consider Slackware, PCLinux, or KUbuntu as well. But nothing else for my laptop.

Kanotix of course. It is also (and mainly) a great Debian installer, second to none.

I was a Mandrake user for the longest time,since version 6. This year I switch to Fedora Core and was satified by Core 4 until OpenSuse 10. Then my life turned around. I was shocked and amazed by the stability and choice of software available. My biggest satisfaction was the inclusion of Mono and Monodevelop.
