Oh boy, here comes the flame war...

OK, lets try to make it nice and easy...

SuSE does not release ISO's for X86 machines - only 1 ISO which is a "live 
evaluation" version which means - you boot from the CD and u use linux, but 
you cannot install it on the hard drive and use it.

What left for you are 2 options:

1. to buy the 7 CD's (and 1 DVD) version - I think it costs something like $60 
or so - not sure.
2. download the floppy and install the rest from the net - a really big and 
long download/install.. good option if you have a high bandwidth connection 
and you're already connected to the net (using gateway)

SuSE 8.0 also offers a nice FTP install - but see my remarks above on option 
2.

As for how good is SuSE - they're very good - as long as you don't try SuSE 
8.0 - SuSE 8.0 is a disaster - I have heard about it's problems from all over 
- KDE developers, SuSE users, IHV's, ISV's, newsgroups - just from 
everywhere, so if you're planning to use SuSE - use the latest 7.x and 
install KDE 3.0 on top of it (if you want to use KDE 3).

Thanks,
Hetz
