Right now, I'm giving serious consideration to SuSE as my main OS, having tried 8.1 from a recent PC Plus coverdisk. Only snag there is that I either need to lock myself in to buying updates, or finding somebody else who has SuSE who I can get copies from. (My reading of the SuSE licence is that you can copy the CDs if and only if this is done at absolutely no cost whatsoever to the recipient, not even 'cost of materials')
For an OS on a working PC I'm pretty happy with SUSE although I do tend to miss every other upgrade and rely on the online update for patches and bug fixes. This isn't really down to cost more a reflection of my lack of interest in tinkering on machine I use for work and play.
The biggest problem and the greatest feature of SUSE is yast, learn to love or find another distro it really isn't worth fighting with. If you want to tinker with your setup a lot when you reach the limits of what yast will do you will find it gets in the way of some manual configuartion changes you make.
I will be buying 8.2 in the near future (as soon as i have a room to set up my PC in) and you are welcome to a copy of the CDs - I don't have the facilities to copy the DVD be warned updates may not be regular.
Regards
