This is why I recommend to newbies that the best distro to start with is
one that installs cleanly for their system. I had trouble with Ubuntu
on my laptop.
But over the years I have heard people have trouble with all the common
versions, and yet I have a friend who swears by how easy slackware is to
install( He workw at Symantec and doesn't
come to the Euglug meetings yet).

Why does Suse suck? Never have I had more trouble installing any
other distro than Suse! Starting with 9.3 last year and the
inability to install with a USB keyboard to 10.1 today and the
inability to properly handle an LCD monitor. All it does is go
out of sync. I managed to install via text mode and upon
completion it goes out of sync again!! Blah!
Seems the most foolproof distros to date are Gentoo, Ubuntu, and
Slackware in my experiences. All have managed to install on most
hardware I've tried.
