corbett_1989, ignore any prejudiced comments about Novell and SUSE. One thing you will learn about the Linux community is that they are as hateful towards other distros as they are Windows.

Me? I seriously tried a lot of distros out. I just wanted to get one that not only worked but looked good (polished). For OpenSUSE to be owned by Novell and sponsored by AMD says a lot. Any Microsoft comments are non-relative as they do not apply to OpenSUSE at all.

I tried PCLinuxOS, Solaris, Fedora Core, Ubuntu and Kubuntu and none of them worked the way they needed to - which would be flawlessly. Ubuntu has a great following and large community but it's rather dull to look at and when I used it I honestly felt like I was using beta software.

I just kept going through distros trying to find the right one. Then I stumbled upon OpenSUSE. I checked out some screenshots, looked nice, went to the main page and saw the whole Novell and AMD thing and was blown away to have such a long standing corporation like Novell to be responsible for the software. Novell has taken the time and energy to boost their SUSE Linux Enterprise Server/Desktop and passed on the polished look and performance to OpenSUSE.

I'm not going to waste time ranting or raving about it any further. Just try it yourself and see.

Well, what you mean to say here is, ignore any predudiced comments, except your own.
Or was it, nobody needs to learn anything, you've done all the testing for us.
My English interpretation skills have just atrophied
When Henry Ford, first introduced the model "T", he's alleged to have said, you can have it in any color you want, as long as it's black. Gosh, I long for simpler times, don't you.

OpenSUSE and Slackware because it is easy for me to program on those distros. Ubuntu is also a good one. =)

I'm not the one bashing a distro over some deal they made with a company you have negative feelings about. That's pretty pathetic.
