I don't think the latest Suse (9.1) is a bloated install. In fact someone told me that the downloadable iso only offers certain things, unlike the full blown 5 iso package. I think Suse is great for the desktop. Shouldn't hurt to give it a try? Since you're in the mood, i suggest installing several and going with what works best for you. Over the past 3 years I've tried at least 10 different distros. So far i'm sticking with Suse, but that could change. I always love trying different stuff, so every now and then i'll install something new and give it a try. For instance, I tried Gentoo before, but wasn't man(geek) enough to get it to work!
