Yeah, SuSE to start off with. Though, I am now having a lot of frustration with that lately. I’m trying to get a particular application to run, and am stuck with seemingly mutually exclusive dependency problems, so, am going to Debian to try it there. Now that I am a little more experienced with Linux, the two seem about the same, so.. I guess it depends on your experience.
If you are thinking "RedHat", which really is not a bad choice, You might want to hold off until Fedora Core 2. RedHat 9 is the end of the line for non 'enterprise' versions. Fedora is the community run replacement. But I hear that Core 1 has issues that are supposed to be fixed in Core 2.
One last note about SuSE, there is no ‘iso’ option other then the boot disk, so you either have to install everything straight from a server on the net, or buy the retail box.
