Suse was incredibly easy to install, but I'd suggest Red Hat 9.0. Yes Red Hat is no longer supporting it's desktop version (9.0 support ends 4/2004), and yes after I heard this, I wanted to try another distribution, but for easy installation and a number of developer applications (Kdeveloper, QT, Apache Server, etc.), Red Hat could not be beaten. Also because RH is one of the most widely used Linux distros out, you can go to almost any major bookstore and find books for all types of users (newbie to advanced). In fact, I will probably upgrade to the Fedora 1.0/RH 10.0 after I learn more about RH 9.0. In addition, of the three distros I tried to install (RH 9.0, Mandrake 9.1, and Suse 9.0), RH installed the way I wanted to the first time, with minimal configuration. With that said, Suse is a fine product with beautiful screens and cool desktop, but I felt like Red Hat gave me more bang for my buck.

All the reviews on this product are from 8 years ago and earlier. I've been interested in Linux for years but nobody wants to talk about it anymore. Why?
Multi loading OS's on a computer isn't something people do every day. It's not hard but it's easy to mess up if you are NOT paying attention and have little experience with that sort of thing.
If you are installing JUST SuSE on your computer then it works great. Sure I've had computers in which "oddball" hardware doesn't work on it. SuSE on the other hand should be considered bleeding edge on the hardware support side. They are into it all and do a great job.
More bang for the buck with RedHat? What does that mean? I get an extra rpm or two? Listen. Look at what they both provide and make a decision. Anything someone else has you can get for SuSE. I was surprised with YaST. I loaded some stuff that was missing from the distro. It selected a site in Chicago by default. Took only a few moments with my broadband connection (Cable 3 Mb pipe).
Fedora RC2 was crap. Better than RC1 but still crap. Debian and Slackware are pretty good. For a desktop install I would recommend you wait for SuSE 9.1 actually. It comes out this month I understand (I've already downloaded the source rpms. It's HOT)

Friendly graphical desktop, but with share of problems
Like others have reviewed here, Suse Linux 9.0 can erase Windows if you are not careful enough. This has happened to me, because I tried to resize the Windows partition. Read more

Near Perfect
I had no problems with the install; nothing to write about there. No problems at all.
