In answer to your question Conor, I'm using SuSE 7.3 currently, and
I've been using SuSE Linux for years.

Not to get involved in a "my distro is better than your distro" argument
(since I really don't care - whatever works best) but the recent
SuSE Linux releases (7.x) have been extremely polished. Great installer,
great
GUI configuration tools, online update tool, very well documented.

Also there isn't any CD swapping involved if you buy SuSE Linux, it includes
the whole lot on a single DVD in addition to the CDs).

Anyway my experience with it has been very positive.

Regards

Ian
