nice skunkymunky, i myself installed SuSe this week but then I got my RedHat 9 CD's (still need 2 install it) and that beats (according 2 me) SuSe in my categories namely developement and "widespread destruction" by way of ping @ LAN including 12 year old brats
LOL
seriously though, i agree with you, SuSe was a breeze 2 install configure and use, i say use cause i used it for about 7 months on a earlier occasion as a windows replacement, not that i can do anything mildly powerful with linux, i'm still a newbie @ it.

I'm using SuSe on my spare home machine - it's pretty nifty.
Redhat 9.0/9.1 are also cool, but you'll need to add a lot of multimedia support if you want to play divx movies/mp3 files etc.
You can get all the "missing" stuff for Redhat from http://freshrpms.net/
I think I prefer SuSe to Redhat, however, it feels faster.
As for Mandrake - I think they've lost the plot. The last 3 versions have been dissapointing in terms of bugs (in the installer), hardware issues (network cards) and ugliness![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

The only problem about installing those extra Redhat packages is the quagmire of dependencies.
I ended up just downloading the entire set of rpms from a mirror (I think internet solutions or saix mirror freshrpms ?)
Installing something like Xine with full codec support took me 30 minutes the first time I did it, because of all the failed dependencies.
That's one thing Linux really needs to sort out for the most part.
Apt Get is one solution I guess.

I was just wonderinig what are the main differences between Suse and Redhat? I've used Redhat 6.2 before but it couldn't detect my modem so I couldn't do much with it.
Does anyone know where I can get a copy or SuSe of Redhat from? I know you used to be able to download it from lots of sites but I'm having trouble finding one now.

Thanks
I actually did look there but couldn't find anywhere to download it.
I did find www.linuxiso.org though where you can download all
the different distributions of linux.
Im busy getting SuSe 8.2 now, thats the newest version they've got as ISO.
