I recently picked up a copy of SuSE 9.0 Professional. I have never used or been familiar with a SuSE product before as I've only used Mandrake, Red Hat, and a bit of Debian. After using Red Hat for a while I decided to evaluate SuSE and I am now sorry for not having tried it sooner.

i've been using dos and then windows from the early 90's and started to use linux on 1998. While i have to admit that linux has made great progress on the client side, it's still got a lot to go before even thinking of being a real trat for windows, and the new mandrake, with tese bugs, is no exception. Tbe same for suse. I still can't use my lexmark printer on it, while in windows i installed the driver with a click of the mouse.
After 12 years linux still doesnt have a rational way to install/uninstall programs and drivers with a click of the mouse (and for all the raging "linux "purists" out there: we are in 2003, not in the friging 80's...).
And please let's stop this old story about "windows insecurity": it all depends on the user: you just have to set up a good firewall, an antivirus and little else and you are done. I've never had any intrusion problems since i started using windows on the net in 1994.
Sure, the dumb user could have problems but the pc is not and will never be a domestic appliance. It will required always a bit of brain. Sorry about that but it's the reality.
So, up to now I think we have to admit that windows is still light years ahead on the desktop.
