Well this is just my humble opinion, but I am REAL happy with SuSE and looking 
forward to checking out version 9 which I am hopefully getting this next 
Sunday.  So far (knocks on nearby near-wood desk) SuSE has been great to me 
and having tried RH 6,7,8 and Mandrake from version 2 thru 8 I feel this is 
indeed the best distro I have tried.  Again, I have nothing against those who 
like RH or Mandrake, but for me SuSE has been less troublesome (at least this 
version which is 8.2).

Hope that helps,
