SuSE, openSUSE "All in all, SUSE Linux 10.0 OSS is the best Linux system I've used. It's easy to install and has a large selection of both desktop and server software. It has been extremely stable during my use. It is clearly an excellent choice for Linux beginners, with its fine documentation, easy installation, and comprehensive graphical configuration tools, while also offering software selection and powerful tools for the experienced user."

I recently installed SuSE on a laptop and on a desktop computer. The laptop installation was a pain when doing an nfs instal, it wouldn't connect to my NFS server. I think it was a NFS version conflict but the error was vague so I had to figure that out myself. I finally burned the CD's and it went well except I had to edit the xorg.conf file manually.

The desktop installation was easy with cd's. All hardware was recognized and configured correctly. It is not as slow as I expected it to be. Maybe I keep it besides my ArchLinux desktop.

I found it amazingly easy to install and it was able to recognize and configure most of the hardware. It will not become my main Linux distribution but could be a good alternative to Windows to less experienced users who want to install Linux for the first time.
