SuSE is a solid distro. SuSE never seems to be mentioned in some circles, but its pretty damn good and worth at look at. It seems to be on par with Slackware in that lots of people use it for their server operating systems.
Oh well... my two pence worth!!

Which should I recommend?
One that comes with a good book on it. (or equivalent online docs)
Mandrake is based on RH, so uses RH's packaging system. Storm and Corel are based on Debian, but Storm seems to leave you abruptly post-install in my opinion and Corel has that root exploit. Stampede is too early in its life. Slackware is OK, but you really need a book. SuSE I've never given a fair trial.

I'll second that, SuSE is PDG as far as I'm concerned.
Cheers, Laurie.

I have SuSE 6.3 running on Both Intel and Dec Alpha on my desk at work. Only prob I've had is with the boot process on the Alpha which is a real mess compared to PCs.
Its almost perverse having near identical s/w on different h/w :-)
Its pretty solid as far as I'm concerned. I don't get terrific up times, but thats 'cos I'm writting kernel code :-)
Peter.
