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 just upgraded Mandrake 9.1 to 9.2 and to all you anti-linux people out there it still does everything i need.
Hardware accelerated graphics, great "office" support.
Yes it has a few issues here and there, but so does Windows 2000. Try watching TV on Windows and moving files....the TV stops intermittently..
BTW that doesnt happen on BeOS ;-) and well to quote Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares To U" and i am sure Prince was referring to BeOS even though it hadnt been released at that time ;-)
and i am still experimenting with the Mandrake TV apps. Audio output is an issue.
i'd appreciate any comments on the better Linux TV apps out there.
As far as SuSE goes....i installed the Project Mad Hatter preview from Sun which is SuSE based and now called Sun Java Desktop as you probably already know and it is very nice.
It's due to be released in 3-4 weeks...but from what i've read it uses Gnome 2.2 and not 2.4 which is a shame considering 2.6 is not far away....but, it's supported by Sun and comes with StarOffice 7 which IMVHO kicks Cartmans and Bill Gates' arse.
cheers
