I've personally found the SuSE live CD great, it loaded up two machines without any problems. It did everything plus more than what you would expect out of Windows install. I actually loaded up SuSE on one of my machines, configured it and everything, then I transferred the Hard Drive to another machine. It fired up straight away and rediscovered and installed the different hardware without any issues, fuss, or a reboot requirement. Try that with XP :) (BTDT) It also updated the security patches, software updates as soon as the network card was configured. If I was looking at a floor of machines (whether a computer lab, POS machines, calls centre, etc), I would definitely consider this distro. A thing to consider, this is a desktop distro, if you want to build a server, this is not your distro. I kinda like that as a network administrator, if someone is hand out this distro to newbies on site, there will a lesser risk posed on rogue servers on any given subnet.

I had a look at the review on this distro, From what I read, it seems ideal for a newbie.The only negative comments I found was that dvd movie play can be a real hassle to set up.. Boot time is a little longer than some other distros but that is not really so important is it? If anyone has got this distro installed I would like to see some opinion/critique, also if you are a new user or a seasoned Linuxer.

Hey Gund,
I loaded SuSE onto my desktop here at Uni. What an awesome distro... Very easy to load up. Thanks again.

finally got the iso, but its bad
redownoading but at least tomorrow before its here , so if anyone else has it ......
A tip for the future. If you've got a bad iso, find an rsync mirror and use rsync to repair it. Much quicker that re-downloading an entire iso. Wayne
