I've enjoyed SUSE since 6.1. The comments from others about YAST doing the serious work for the user are certainly true. I was impressed with the Debian distribution "Raspbian." But recently I've been getting a 6 DVD set of opensuse from OSDISC.com or something like that. I copy a local repository of the discs and can learn what is out there. Unbelievable amount of software on 6 DVDs. Most of my time used to be spent digging in /usr/include files and the like. Amazing to learn how things like "semaphores" or serial port modem control lines, or other linux systems work. It really is all there. The libC reference is great, too. Or X. Many, many new advances made my skills obsolete. If I was 30, 40, + years younger! As the saying goes, "youth is wasted on the young."
