SuSE 8.0. (http://www.suse.com/index_us.html). 8.1 is available for
preorder. Will be available 10.7. While both Mandrake and Red Hat are good
releases, I have preferred SuSE since I switched from Debian.
1. It is stable.
2. The distro contains virtually all the softeware you will want.
3. Installation is straightforward.
4. System administration can be centralized through a system admin utility
or decentralized through the normal ascii files.
5. Installation from either a set of 7 CDs or a single DVD.
6. Online updates either via YaST2 Online Update or fou4s (fast YOU).
7. Supports apt-get (downloadable separately).
